Kirisame

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Kirisame — Japanese • Premium • Tier VII • Destroyer.

This ship represents what could have been accomplished with some creative engineering if the Japanese shipbuilders had had access to U. S. gunnery. Other Kagerō-class strenghts, like deadly torpedo armament and great concealment, were inherited by this project.

Kirisame was released as a container-exclusive reward on December 12th, 2022.

Player Opinion

Destroyer - Kirisame

Pros:

• Has many of Kagerō's upsides.
• Very versatile armaments configurations; can equip fast-firing guns in addition to the standard IJN destroyer main batteries.
• Can switch between 3 different hulls, which gives it multiple playstyles.

Cons:

• Has many of the downsides that Kagerō has, although the gunnery associated downsides are somewhat solved if the player mounts Akizuki's 100mm guns, making it capable of matching gunnery-focused destroyers of other nations.
• Alternate main batteries have much slower traverse times than the standard 127mm battery.
• More sluggish rudder shift time than Kagerō.

Performance

This ship has a unique characteristic: it has the option to switch between 3 different hulls! Each hull gives the ship different stats and playstyle. Here is each hull's stat changes and particularities:

Torpedo Hull (B)

• Maximum Torpedo Damage –––––––––––– (+4200) 20 967
• Torpedo Detectability ––––––––––––––––––– (-0.5) 0.8km
• Torpedo Range ––––––––––––––––––––––– (+6.5) 16.5km
• Main Battery Barrels ––––––––––––––––––––––––– (+3) 6
• Main Battery Turret 180° Turn Time –––––––– (+6.3) 11.3s
• Main Battery Reload Time ––––––––––––––––– (+1.5) 3.8s
• Caliber ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– (-27) 100mm
• Maximum AP Shell Damage ––––––––––––––– (-650) 1700
• Maximum HE Shell Damage ––––––––––––––– (-600) 1200
• Fire-Setting Chances –––––––––––––––––––––––– (-4) 5%

This hull upgrade is equipped with deepwater torpedoes. AA Defense stats are changed according to the new dual-purpose main battery guns.
