Player Opinion

Destroyer - Akatsuki

Pros:

  • HE shells have good damage and good fire chance.
  • Three triple-tube torpedo launchers give her good flexibility.
  • Excellent top speed and concealment.
  • Good overall handling characteristics.



Cons:

  • HP pool is on the low end for Tier VI destroyers.
  • Main battery has the characteristic low reload and sluggish turrets of IJN DDs.
  • Lacks access to the Torpedo Reload BoosterLegends_TRB.pngconsumable that Shiratsuyu gets.
  • Anti-aircraft suite is weak, but with a dual-purpose main battery it's a big improvement for the IJN.
