Kagerō — Japonska 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.

Dropping down from Tier IX as a part of the Japanese destroyer line changes in Update 0.5.15, Kagerō 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 Kagerō familiar in many ways. Both should be accustomed to the A-X-Y turret arrangement of the main battery, 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, Kagerō’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. With that said, however, 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; never court a gunfight with an American or Russian destroyer with lots of health. Kagerō’s 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 has some fairly glaring deficiencies compared to her counterparts at Tier VIII, though. Her speed is fairly pedestrian, her anti-aircraft guns are ineffective at shooting down enemy planes, and her main battery reload and turret traverse times are painfully slow. Just like Akatsuki, captains are likely to miss the tremendous tactical flexibility of Fubuki’s three torpedo launchers. As nasty as her upgraded torpedoes are — and they hit very, very hard — their reload time means that getting off more than a few salvos in a match is tough. Luckily, Kagerō can give up Kouřový generátor() in exchange for Posilovač dobíjení torpéd (). This allows her to force an 8-second reload time on her torpedoes once every six minutes (or four, with the premium version). Given her best-in-tier detection radius, this will be a worthwhile gamble for many captains.
The Japanese destroyer line becomes challenging to excel in at high tiers, but Kagero provides all the tools necessary for captains to do just that; they need only bring patience and a willingness to learn how to handle her.Plusy:
- Lowest detection range of all Tier VIII destroyers.
- Fast, powerful torpedoes that hit like freight trains.
- Good handling; same turning circle as her predecessors, quick rudder shift.
- Gains access to Posilovač dobíjení torpéd (), allowing her to launch 16 torpedoes within 10 seconds.
Mínusy:
- Mediocre top speed of 35 knots.
- Main battery is slightly improved from Akatsuki, but is still nothing special.
- Painfully long torpedo reload time, regardless of which torpedoes are equipped.
- Has to choose between torpedo reload booster or the smoke screen consumable, unlike Akizuki.
Výzkum
Doporučená konfigurace
Vylepšení
The recommended upgrades for Kagerō are as follows:
- Slot 1: Úprava hlavní výzbroje 1 ()
- Slot 2: Úprava pohonu 1 ()
- Slot 3: Úprava zaměřovacích systémů 1 () or Úprava hlavní baterie 2 ()
- Slot 4: Úprava pohonu 1 ()
- Slot 5: Úprava maskovacího systému 1 ()
As a Tier VIII ship, Kagerō gains access to Slot 5; Concealment System Modification 1 is the logical choice for the new slot. Her other upgrade recommendations remain largely as they were for Akatsuki: Main Armaments Modification 1 in Slot 1, Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Main Battery Modification 2 in Slot 3, and Propulsion Modifications 1 and 2 in Slot 2 and Slot 4, respectively.

Spotřební doplňky
Kagerō can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Havarijní tým ()
- Slot 2: Kouřový generátor() or Posilovač dobíjení torpéd ()
- Slot 3: Posílení motoru
Kagerō captains must choose between equipping Kouřový generátor() and a downgraded version of the Posilovač dobíjení torpéd () consumable that Shiratsuyu and Akizuki have access to. Whichever one is chosen, captains are encouraged to invest the credits (or doubloons) in the premium version. As ever, investing in Havarijní tým II () is also highly recommended. Šablona:Engine Boost II might be worthwhile for captains without Kouřový generátor(); otherwise, the free version should be more than adequate.
Kamufláž
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 Kagerō 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.
Kagerō also has an alternate premium camouflage called "Urashima", in which she appears as she does during the Halloween scenario "Sunray in the Darkness".Galerie
