Shinonome
Ship Overview

Shinonome — Japanese
Premium Tier V Destroyer.
One of the first Fubuki-class destroyers, with an incredible striking power from her three 610 mm torpedo launchers. The ship significantly surpassed preceding-class destroyers in terms of artillery firepower. However, her AA defenses were weak, which was characteristic of all Japanese destroyers.

Player Opinion
Destroyer - ShinonomePros:
- Hard hitting HE shells, with a good aim they are capable of doing ~3,000 damage per salvo against destroyers.
- Excellent torpedoes with fast reload, decent speed and range.
- Three triple torpedo launchers capable of launching 9 torpedoes ~every minute, same as Fubuki.
- Decent rudder shift time and good turning circle radius allows dodging shells, torpedoes, and aircrafts easy.
- Decent concealment.
Cons:
- Ridiculously slow top speed for a destroyer, tied with Fubuki.
- Torpedoes have 2km less range, less damage, and flood chance than Fubuki's.
- Very poor main battery rate of fire at 9 seconds, slow turret traverse speed, and poor range.
- Nonexistent AA with only a single twin mount, helpless against planes.
- Despite decent gun damage and accuracy, she can still fall quickly to rapid firing destroyers if one isn't careful.
