A small yet well-armed and very fast destroyer. Wakatake carries 533 mm torpedoes with better range than similar munitions used by potential rivals. An unconventional placement of torpedo launchers allows her to fire from the bow sectors.

Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Very agile and maneuverable, can out-run and out-turn almost any ship.
- Detection range allows for close range torpedo drops and easy flanking.
- The Torpedoes on Wakatake are the strongest at Tier III. Wakatake has the ability to destroy any ship at tier with a perfect salvo.
- High speed and good concealment make for a good ship to get these torpedoes on target.
Cons:
- Turret rotation cannot keep up with maneuvers. Hard to get a shot off in twisting attacks.
- Torpedo range similar to detection range, thus leaving you a small window of attack.
- Vulnerable to rudder and engine damage.
- Low HP compared to other ships.
- Almost no AA.
- Has very weak artillery.
- Exchanges shorter torpedo range than her predecessor Umikaze for increased damage.
- Has fewer hit points than Umikaze.
Research
Optimal Configuration
- Slot 1 - Magazine Modification 1 may seem tempting here, but the signal Juliet Charlie accomplishes the same thing. Prefer Main Armaments Modification 1 to preserve the torpedo tubes as long as possible.
- Slot 2 - Engine Room Protection

Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectability range.
Wakatake also has a permanent camouflage called "Blade", in which she appears as she does during the Halloween scenarios "Saving Translyvania" and "Sunray in the Darkness".
