Player Opinion

Destroyer - Hatsuharu

Pros:

• Improved hard hitting guns over Fubuki gain significantly increased rate of fire, range, and shell arcs.
• One of the best torpedo range at her tier at 10 km.
• Good concealment.
• Decent torpedo speed makes her torpedoes harder to dodge.
• Decent torpedo reload time.
• Generous torpedo launch arcs.
• Very good concealment, when full upgraded with concealment build she can potentially be unspotted the entire game.

Cons:

• Turret traverse and rate of fire remain inferior to American destroyer guns.
• Fewer torpedoes than Fubuki: only two triple-tube launchers compared to Fubuki’s three.
• Slower than its predecessor Minekaze, with worse detection range to boot.
• Average AA defenses.
