Player Opinion

Destroyer - AL Yukikaze

Pros:

• Excellent concealment.
• Powerful torpedoes that hit extremely hard and are slightly faster than average.
• Good handling; same turning circle radius as her predecessors, quick rudder shift.
• Hard-hitting HE shells and good turret traverse for an IJN destroyer; useful for engaging enemy destroyers.

Cons:

• Mediocre top speed of 35 knots.
• Torpedoes have a long reload time and an abysmal detection.
• AA is weak as the 127mm guns are not dual-purpose.
