Player Opinion

Destroyer - Wakatake

Pros:

• Very agile and maneuverable, can out-run and out-turn almost any ship.
• Detection range allows for close range torpedo drops and easy flanking.
• The torpedoes on Wakatake are the strongest at Tier II. Wakatake has the ability to destroy any ship at tier with a perfect salvo.
• High speed and good concealment make for a good ship to get these torpedoes on target.

Cons:

• Turret rotation cannot keep up with maneuvers. Hard to get a shot off in twisting attacks.
• Torpedo range similar to detection range, thus leaving you a small window of attack.
• Vulnerable to rudder and engine damage.
• Low HP pool.
• Almost no AA.
• Has very weak artillery.
