Player Opinion

Destroyer - Yukikaze

Pros:

• Excellent concealment.
• Fast, powerful torpedoes that hit extremely hard.
• Good handling; same turning circle radius as her predecessors, quick rudder shift.
• High damage HE shells, useful for engaging enemy destroyers.

Cons:

• Mediocre top speed of 35 knots.
• Main battery is the typical sluggish, slow-reloading IJN DD guns.
• Long torpedo reload time.
• AA is weak as the 127mm guns are not dual-purpose.
