Special

Fūjin — Japanese special premium Tier V destroyer.

A typical Japanese destroyer that was built using the experience gained during World War I. She boasted a very high speed and powerful torpedo armament. The AA artillery, however, was very weak.

She is no longer available to purchase.

Player Opinion

Performance

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
For a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".

Fujin is identical to the Kamikaze and roughly analogous to the Tier V tech tree ship Minekaze, except with a spooky Halloween-themed camouflage. She has powerful, fast reloading torpedoes that travel 7km at 68 kts with a maximum damage of 14,400 points, making her a serious threat to any ship she can spot. With a base detection of 6.2km (without camouflage or a captain with Concealment Expert), she has a significant spotting advantage over anything else in her tier that isn't a fellow Japanese destroyer, allowing her to deliver her torpedoes to unsuspecting targets.

Her guns are far more situational, with four 120mm barrels that have a 10 second reload and do 2000 points of damage per shell, making them only useful against other Japanese destroyers in an even fight. Engaging an American or Russian destroyer in a straight up 1v1 gunfight is a one-way ticket back to the Port screen. The guns are decent for harassing other ships using island or smoke cover, but captains must be very careful not to draw unwanted attention to themselves. Mobility-wise, Fujin handles like most other destroyers, with 37.5 knot top speed and a rudder shift time of 2.9 second and a 550m turning radius, faster than most American destroyers at tier, but slower than the Russian destroyers.

Pros:

• Better turret traverse than Minekaze.
• Bigger health pool than Minekaze.
• As a premium ship, it makes more credits and experience than Minekaze.
• Torpedoes are faster and deal more damage than Minekaze torpedoes.
• Has three turrets that turn frontally, as opposed to two on the Minekaze.

Cons:

• Worse anti-aircraft suite — what little there is of it — than Minekaze.
• Slightly slower and worse rudder shift than Minekaze.

Fūjin is a fictional member of the Kamikaze class of destroyers, a modification of the Minekaze class with the primary change being an upgrade in primary armament. Fūjin is a Wargaming construction as no member of the Kamikaze class was ever given the name Fūjin. However, the name Fūjin is derived from a reversal of Kamikaze's name in Japanese kanji.

History

Design

The Kamikaze class destroyers were built from an improved and slightly larger Minekaze class design. The newer class featured a widened beam to allow for a larger superstructure. At the time of construction, the Kamikaze class destroyers carried the same machinery and armament as the preceding class, but the location of the aft torpedo tubes and main guns were altered. Numerous anti-aircraft guns and depth charge launchers were mounted on the ships before and during World War II which further increased their displacement. Consequently, Kamikaze and her sister ships suffered from a lower top speed.

Service

Having been constructed and launched from 1922 to 1923, the nine Kamikaze class destroyers were obsolete by 1937 when war with China began. As older ships, they were primarily used as escorts for troop transports and invasion support. Their roles were expanded during World War Two to include escort of merchant ships, and later, once the system was implemented, convoy escort.

Attrition was high and only one ship, Kamikaze herself, managed to survive the war intact. Kamikaze was wrecked in 1946, and in 1947 she was sold off and broken up for scrap.

Of the remaining Kamikaze class destroyers, four were sunk by submarine, three by air, and one, Hayate, was sunk by shore battery during the invasion of Wake Island in 1941.
