+ | <!--Dropping down from Tier IX as a part of the Japanese destroyer line changes in [[Ship:Update_0.5.15|Update 0.5.15]], ''Kagero'' now fills ''[[Fubuki]]''’s old spot at Tier VIII. Fans of the old ''Fubuki'' and new captains who have moved up from ''[[Akatsuki]]'' will find ''Kagero'' familiar in many ways. The A-X-Y turret arrangement of the main battery is familiar, her handling characteristics are nearly identical (similar turning circle radius and rudder shift time), and her anti-aircraft suite is still hardly worth mentioning. So, what's new? | |||
+ | ||||
+ | For starters, ''Kagero''’s guns reload faster, though they do give up some range to those of ''Akatsuki'' and pre-0.5.15 ''Fubuki''. This gives her more of a fighting chance when cornered by an enemy gunboat destroyer (such as ''[[Benson]]''), especially if said enemy is already wounded. Captains who have progressed this far up the line should know by now when to hang in a gun duel against an enemy destroyer and when discretion is the better part of valor. Her detection radius is improved over both old ''Fubuki'' and ''Akatsuki''; not only can she can equip Concealment Module 1 (as a Tier VIII ship), but her base detection radius of 6.8 km is the lowest of all high-tier Japanese destroyers. --> | |||

Kagerō — Japanese Tier VIII destroyer.
Due to a good balance of her main characteristics, Kagero was the most successful destroyer design in the Imperial Japanese Navy. She had extremely long-range, high-speed, oxygen-fueled torpedoes that made her considerably superior to all ships of her type in terms of torpedo armament power.

Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Kagero with Type 18 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
Kagero launches torpedoes at an enemy Tirpitz and Friedrich der Große from within her smokescreen.
