Yueyang — Pan-Asian Tier X destroyer.
Former U.S. destroyer of the Allen M. Sumner class (USS Haynsworth, DD-700) that was transferred to an east Asian nation in 1970. She was developed from the very successful Fletcher class. In contrast to her predecessor, she had more powerful artillery, but ran at a lower speed.

Player Opinion
Performance
Yueyang is quite similar to the tier ten USN destroyer, Gearing both appearance and play-style wise. However, there are some significant differences between the two; as Yueyang features deep water torpedoes and a choice between the unique Pan-Asian Smoke Generator consumable, or Surveillance Radar .
Sharing in the Gearing's three 127mm twin mounts, Yueyang has rather formidable firepower mounted on her deck. She can overwhelm other destroyers with a constant hail of HE shells, peck away at a battleship's health from the unique Smoke Generator consumable shared by all Pan Asian destroyers in the tech tree, or dissuade enemies from drawing near with the sheer intimidation factor afforded by being constantly hit by a new salvo every three seconds. The 127mm mount on Yueyang has slightly more range than the Gearing's, though not so much as to make a massive difference between the two. In all other respects though, they have the exact same firepower.
For a destroyer, stealth is everything, and Yueyang does not dissapoint in this department. She has the lowest surface detectability among all tier ten destroyers, edging out the nearest competitors by a slight margin. Unfortunately, as tier ten destroyers tend to have worse detection when compared to their tier nine counterparts, this isn't a very big consolation. Yueyang also has the second lowest hit pool out of her counterparts, though this isn't as harmful as one would think. Yueyang sits much, much lower in the water than the Gearing does, making her harder to hit and allowing her to avoid damage other destroyers might have taken. She is also slightly more maneuverable than the Gearing; especially considering that Pan-Asian destroyers have no option to take the Defensive AA Fire consumable, pigeonholing them into using the Engine Boost consumable instead.
The biggest difference between Yueyang and the destroyers of other nations are her deep water torpedoes. With some differences, they are the same torpedoes found on Gearing. They have 3km less range, but go 2 knots faster. They both do the same amount of damage, and have the same reloads. However, deep water torpedoes are less detectable at the price of not being able to hit any other destroyers; allies and enemies alike. They are very much specialised at dealing with larger ships, and fulfil this duty admirably. Due to their low detectability, there is almost no time for enemy ships to react to or dodge the torpedoes.Pros:
- Has deep water torpedoes with extremely low detectability.
- Stealthiest tier ten destroyer.
- Has same guns as Gearing.
- Low profile makes Yueyang harder to hit.
- Option to take great Smoke Generator consumable or Surveillance Radar .
- Don't have to worry about allied destroyers blocking torpedoes' line of fire.
Cons:
- Deep water torpedoes cannot hit destroyers.
- Surveillance Radar consumable is short range and duration, and costs use of the Smoke Generator consumable.
- Second lowest health pool of tier ten destroyers.
- Guns have orbital arcs.
Research
Optimal Configuration
Similar to many USN destroyers, the Yueyang can be built to favor guns or torpedoes. However, given that her largest distinguishing feature is the deep water torpedoes, it's advisable to built towards those.
Consumables
Yueyang can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Smoke Generator or Surveillance Radar
- Slot 3: Engine Boost
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 Yueyang with Type 20 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
