Akizuki — Japanese
• Tech Tree • Tier VII • Destroyer.
One of the most sophisticated destroyers in the Japanese Navy. This ship was specifically designed to provide anti-aircraft defense. Due to her significantly increased dimensions, she was equipped with new dual-purpose main gun mounts that had a very high rate of fire. Among the drawbacks of the ship were the relatively weak torpedo armament and an insufficiently high speed.

Community ContributionsPlayer Opinion
Destroyer - AkizukiPros:
- Quick-turning, fast-firing main battery.
- Armor-piercing rounds are punishing against broadside ships thanks to her rate of fire.
- Flat shell arcs in close combat means she will land consistent hits on enemy ships.
- Equipped with a Torpedo Reload Booster
with a fast cooldown.
- Decent AA for the tier.
Cons:
- HE shells have low damage and fire chance.
- Only one torpedo launcher with a long reload time.
- Slow to accelerate and low top speed for a destroyer.
- Handles more like a cruiser than a destroyer; large turning circle radius and slow rudder shift make Akizuki feel sluggish.
