Isokaze — Japanese Tier IV destroyer.
Developed from the Umikaze class. Unlike her predecessor, Isokaze had increased displacement and enhanced torpedo armament. The ship's artillery, though sufficiently powerful, had a low rate of fire which was typical of all Japanese destroyers.

Player Opinion
Pros:
- Better turret rotation than Wakatake but still not great
- Powerful and fast upgraded torpedoes
- High maneuverability
Cons:
- Low rate of fire with its main guns
- Steering and engine can be taken out very quickly multiple times
- Loses much speed during any type of turn
Research
Research progression is dependent on personal playstyle.
Upgrade to the B hull first as it increases hit points by 1,300, adds 1 main turret, and decreases rudder shift time by 1.3s.
For players who prefer a torpedo-based playstyle, upgrade the torpedoes next. The torpedo upgrade gives the torpedoes more damage in exchange for a slightly longer cooldown.
For players who prefer a gunboat-based playstyle, go for the Gun Fire Control System upgrade next. The range upgrade gives the guns an additional 0.8km firing range.
