Player Opinion

Destroyer - Kamikaze

Pros:

• Excellent concealment.
• Torpedoes are faster and deal more damage than Minekaze torpedoes.
• Has three turrets that turn frontally, as opposed to two on the Minekaze.

Cons:

• Worse anti-aircraft suite — what little there is of it — than Minekaze.
• Low HP pool.
