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.

Entered Service: 1939
Ships in a series: 19

Player Opinion

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
