Player Opinion
Pros:
- Fast firing guns and decently fast turret traverse
- Decent shell speed, arcs and gun range
- Fast torpedoes and fastest torpedo reload of all Tier IX's
- Decent AA for a destroyer
- Decent ship speed, acceleration, HP and detection
- Has normal Hydroacoustic Search (4.7km range)
- Good concealment (5.9km)
Cons:
- Bad torpedo damage
- Slow rudder shift
- Large turning radius
- Shortest smoke duration of all Tier IX destroyers
- Has thick armor - battleship shells can deal normal penetration damage to it (which is devastating for a destroyer)

Consumables
Players can equip the following consumables: Damage Control Party, Smoke Generator, Engine Boost, and Hydroacoustic Search.
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 Z-46 with Type 19 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
The choice of which Signal Flags to mount will confer to the individual preference of each captain, and are subject to great variation, although there are certain flags which suit Destroyer gameplay better. Captains should mount India Yankee to decrease time to extinguish fires, mount November Foxtrot to decrease reload time of consumables, and mount Sierra Mike to increase the ship's maximum speed. To make their torpedoes more potent, captains should mount Juliet Whisky Unaone to increase chance of causing flooding and Juliet Charlie to mitigate risk to magazine detonation from mounting the former flag. If captains wish to buff their primary artillery, they are encouraged to mount Victor Lima + India X-ray to increase fire chance to HE shells.Gallery
