 +''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is quite similar to Tier X American destroyer ''[[Gearing]]'' both appearance and play-style wise. However, there are some significant differences between the two; most notably, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' features deep water torpedoes and a choice between the unique Pan-Asian {{Smoke Generator}} consumable or {{Surveillance Radar}}.
 +
 +Having similar guns like ''Gearing'', ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has a fair main battery firepower mounted on her deck. However, her main battery reload time is 1 second slower than ''Gearing''. Therefore, in most cases, she can defend herself against destroyers with a slightly weaker firepower than ''Gearing'', 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 four seconds. In addition, the 127mm mount on ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has slightly more range than the ''Gearing''’s, but not so much to compensate the firepower difference caused by slower reloading.
 +
 +For a destroyer, stealth is everything, and ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' does not disappoint in this department. She has the third lowest surface detectability among all Tier X destroyers, edging out the nearest competitors by a slight margin and beaten only by ''[[Shimakaze]]'' and ''[[Gearing]]'' with [[Ship:Upgrades#Modified_Hull|Unique Upgrades]]. Unfortunately, as Tier X destroyers tend to have worse detection when compared to their Tier IX counterparts, this isn't much consolation. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' also has the second lowest hit pool out of her counterparts, though this isn't as harmful as one would think. She sits much, much lower in the water than ''Gearing'' does, making her harder to hit and allowing her to avoid damage her sister ship might have taken. Also, she has better handling characteristics than ''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 ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' and the destroyers of other nations are her deep water torpedoes. With some differences, they are the same torpedoes found on ''Gearing''. They have 3.0 km less range, but travel two knots faster. They both do the same amount of damage, but ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s torpedoes takes longer to reload. 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 specialized at dealing with larger ships, and fulfill this duty admirably. Due to their low detectability, there is almost no time for enemy ships to react to or dodge the torpedoes (less than five seconds before other modifiers are accounted for).

 +Similar to other American destroyers, ''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 build towards those.

?<!--The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:+The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are fairly obvious choices, and largely self-explanatory:
?*'''Slot 1''': +* '''Slot 1''': {{Main Armaments Modification 1}}

?*'''Slot 6''': +* '''Slot 6''': See below.
?-->+ 
 + 
 +The upgrade chosen for '''Upgrade Slot 6''' will largely determine how ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' plays.
 + 
 +'''Main Battery (Maximum Rate of Fire) Build:''' One popular build for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' captains is to stack buffs to her main battery rate of fire. From an upgrade perspective, this means plugging {{Main Battery Modification 3}} into the third upgrade slot; when paired with Level 3 commander skill Basic Firing Training, it drops her reload speed to a mind-numbing 2.4 seconds.
 + 
 +'''Main Battery (Maximum Range) Build:''' Also worth considering is the ability to stack {{Gun Fire Control System Modification 2}} with the Level 4 commander skill Advanced Firing Training and push ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s main battery range well past 15 km. It is worth noting that shell flight times at such ranges are extreme and landing hits against anything but slow-moving battleships will be incredibly challenging.
 + 
 +'''Torpedo Build:''' Another popular ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' build is to buff her torpedo reload time by stacking {{Torpedo Tubes Modification 3}} in '''Upgrade Slot 6''' with the Level 3 commander skill Torpedo Armament Expertise. With these skills, her torpedo reload can be reduced to 119 seconds.
  
 |CommanderSkills=<!-- write text about best set of Commander Skills below --> |CommanderSkills=<!-- write text about best set of Commander Skills below -->
?<!--Key skills for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' commanders include INSERT TEXT HERE. +As with ''[[Hsienyang]]'' and ''[[Chung Mu]]'', ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' commanders should start with a base build of: Preventative Maintenance at Level 1, Last Stand at Level 2, Survivability Expert at Level 3, and Concealment Expert at Level 4. The remaining 9 available skill points can be used to tailor ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' to taste.
 + 
 +'''Torpedo Build''' ''{{#var:ship_name}}s'' will want to pick up Torpedo Armament Expertise at Level 3. Captains pursuing either of the '''Main Battery Build''' ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' options will want to focus on Basic Firing Training and Demolition Expert instead. Players concerned about enemy aircraft could opt for Advanced Firing Training or Manual Fire Control for AA Armament. The latter is the better option — as ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' will run most of the time with her anti-aircraft guns disabled in order to avoid detection — though ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' captains that spend time buffing their anti-aircraft suite are uncommon as they generally do not get much return out of the points invested.

?''Yue Yang'' (岳陽; DD-5 upon commissioning by the ROCN, DD-905 during early 1980s), ex-''USS Haynsworth'' transferred to Taiwan on 12 May 1970, is a member of the "second generation" ''Yang''-class destroyer (陽字號驅逐艦; including Allen M. Sumner and Gearing classes, whereas former Imperial Japanese reparations and former US Navy Benson & Gleaves classes being the "first generation") to enter service with the Republic of China Navy. ''Yue Yang'' has the distinction as one of the ''Jīngzhuāng'' ships (精裝艦; roughly means "Special Edition Ships")- the first guided-missile destroyers to serve in the ROCN- receiving the Gabriel II missile system on 25 August, 1975 and a Sea Chaparral anti-aircraft missile launcher. After 28 years of service, she is finally decommissioned on 16, January, 1999.+
? +
?===Design===+
?''Yue Yang'' is formerly ''Allen M. Sumner''-class destroyer ''USS Haynsworth'' (DD-700), the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Commander William M. Haynsworth, Jr., the commander of the Ingraham, when it accidentally collided with Chemung. The resulting collision caused Ingraham's depth charges to explode while still on her stern, destroying the ship and leaving only one officer and ten enlisted as survivors.<br />+
?<br />+
?''Haynsworth'' was launched on 15 April 1944 by the Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Kearny, New Jersey; sponsored by Mrs. Haynsworth, widow of Commander Haynsworth; and commissioned on 22 June 1944, Commander Robert Brodie, Jr., in command.<br />+
?<br />+
?''Haynsworth'' received three battle stars for World War II service.+
?<br />+
?<br />+
?''Haynsworth'' was decommissioned and stricken from the register on 30 January 1970.+
?<br />+
?<br />+
?Later in ROCN service she, along with two of her sister ships, received the Gabriel II missile system and a Sea Chaparral anti-aircraft missile launcher. The aft 5-inch guns were removed to give way to two triple Gabriel missile launchers and a single Sea Chaparral launch station, and the controls for the Gabriel missile system were added to the existing Mk37 fire control system. A major overhaul and reconstruction was undertaken in 1983, improving habitability.+
? +
?===Service===+
?As open armed conflict between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China has ended by the time ''Yue Yang'' entered service, she spent her career with the ROCN carrying out patrols and never fired a shot in anger. Her true importance lies with the fact that she and her two sister ships heralded the age of modern naval warfare into the ROCN during the ensuing years of political hardship. She is the last ''Jīngzhuāng'' ship to be decommissioned.+

Player Opinion

Performance

Yueyang is quite similar to Tier X American destroyer Gearing both appearance and play-style wise. However, there are some significant differences between the two; most notably, Yueyang features deep water torpedoes and a choice between the unique Pan-Asian Smoke Generator While active, generates a smoke screen that blocks line-of-sight for both enemies and teammates. consumable or Surveillance Radar While active, detects all enemy ships within the specified radius, disregarding obstacles such as smoke and terrain..

Having similar guns like Gearing, Yueyang has a fair main battery firepower mounted on her deck. However, her main battery reload time is 1 second slower than Gearing. Therefore, in most cases, she can defend herself against destroyers with a slightly weaker firepower than Gearing, peck away at a battleship's health from the unique Smoke Generator While active, generates a smoke screen that blocks line-of-sight for both enemies and teammates. 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 four seconds. In addition, the 127mm mount on Yueyang has slightly more range than the Gearing’s, but not so much to compensate the firepower difference caused by slower reloading.

For a destroyer, stealth is everything, and Yueyang does not disappoint in this department. She has the third lowest surface detectability among all Tier X destroyers, edging out the nearest competitors by a slight margin and beaten only by Shimakaze and Gearing with Unique Upgrades. Unfortunately, as Tier X destroyers tend to have worse detection when compared to their Tier IX counterparts, this isn't much consolation. Yueyang also has the second lowest hit pool out of her counterparts, though this isn't as harmful as one would think. She sits much, much lower in the water than Gearing does, making her harder to hit and allowing her to avoid damage her sister ship might have taken.

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 3.0 km less range, but travel two knots faster. They both do the same amount of damage, but Yueyang's torpedoes takes longer to reload. 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 specialized at dealing with larger ships, and fulfill this duty admirably. Due to their low detectability, there is almost no time for enemy ships to react to or dodge the torpedoes (less than five seconds before other modifiers are accounted for).

Pros:

  • Has deep water torpedoes with extremely low detectability.
  • One of the stealthiest Tier X destroyers.
  • Low profile makes Yueyang harder to hit.
  • Option to take great Smoke Generator While active, generates a smoke screen that blocks line-of-sight for both enemies and teammates. consumable or Surveillance Radar While active, detects all enemy ships within the specified radius, disregarding obstacles such as smoke and terrain..
  • Doesn't have to worry about allied destroyers blocking torpedoes' line of fire.

Cons:

  • Deep water torpedoes cannot hit enemy destroyers.
  • Surveillance Radar While active, detects all enemy ships within the specified radius, disregarding obstacles such as smoke and terrain. consumable is short range and duration, and costs use of the Smoke Generator While active, generates a smoke screen that blocks line-of-sight for both enemies and teammates. consumable.
  • Second lowest health pool of Tier X destroyers.
  • Guns have sub-orbital firing arcs that make hitting anything but large targets at long range virtually impossible.

As a Tier X ship, Yueyang has no additional modules to research.

Optimal Configuration

Similar to other American destroyers, 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 build towards those.

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Yueyang are fairly obvious choices, and largely self-explanatory:


The upgrade chosen for Upgrade Slot 6 will largely determine how Yueyang plays.

Main Battery (Maximum Rate of Fire) Build: One popular build for Yueyang captains is to stack buffs to her main battery rate of fire. From an upgrade perspective, this means plugging Main Battery Modification 3 : -12% main battery loading time. / -13% main battery traverse speed. into the third upgrade slot; when paired with Level 3 commander skill Basic Firing Training, it drops her reload speed to a mind-numbing 2.4 seconds.

Main Battery (Maximum Range) Build: Also worth considering is the ability to stack Gun Fire Control System Modification 2 : +16% firing range. with the Level 4 commander skill Advanced Firing Training and push Yueyang’s main battery range well past 15 km. It is worth noting that shell flight times at such ranges are extreme and landing hits against anything but slow-moving battleships will be incredibly challenging.

Torpedo Build: Another popular Yueyang build is to buff her torpedo reload time by stacking Torpedo Tubes Modification 2 (: -15% reload time. / +50% risk of incapacitation.) 

in Upgrade Slot 6 with the Level 3 commander skill Torpedo Armament Expertise.  With these skills, her torpedo reload can be reduced to 119 seconds.

Commander Skills

As with Hsienyang and Chung Mu, Yueyang commanders should start with a base build of: Preventative Maintenance at Level 1, Last Stand at Level 2, Survivability Expert at Level 3, and Concealment Expert at Level 4. The remaining 9 available skill points can be used to tailor Yueyang to taste.

Torpedo Build Yueyangs will want to pick up Torpedo Armament Expertise at Level 3. Captains pursuing either of the Main Battery Build Yueyang options will want to focus on Basic Firing Training and Demolition Expert instead. Players concerned about enemy aircraft could opt for Advanced Firing Training or Manual Fire Control for AA Armament. The latter is the better option — as Yueyang will run most of the time with her anti-aircraft guns disabled in order to avoid detection — though Yueyang captains that spend time buffing their anti-aircraft suite are uncommon as they generally do not get much return out of the points invested.

Consumables

Yueyang can equip the following consumables:

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.

Signals

Captains who have opted for a Torpedo Build Yueyang will want to equip a Juliet Whiskey Unaone (+15% chance of causing flooding. / +5% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.) signal in order to maximize potential damage from torpedo hits. Throwing on a Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) is an excellent way to help make up for her slow top speed. November Foxtrot (-5% reload time on all consumables.) and Juliet Charlie (-100% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.) are also highly recommended, if available. Main Battery Build Yueyang captains should also consider Victor Lima (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +4% chance of causing flooding.) and India X-Ray (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm. / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +5% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.) signals to increase the fire chance of her main battery shells.


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
