Fubuki — Japanese Tier VI destroyer.
The Washington Naval Treaty restricted the tonnage of battleships and aircraft carriers, leaving ships lighter than 10,000 tons aside—this encouraged the development of a "new class" destroyer design. She was to have a displacement of 1,900 tons, 127 mm guns, and a triple-tube torpedo launcher. The project was approved in 1926, resulting in 20 ships being built under it. Fubuki entered service in August 1928. During World War II, she provided protection for the Japanese landings in French Indochina, Malaya, and the Dutch East Indies, and she engaged in the Battles of the Sunda Strait and Midway.

Player Opinion
Performance
Fubuki in World of Warships is missing one of the aft turrets she had historically. Her resulting main battery armament of two double-barreled 127mm turrets is perhaps sufficient for self-defense, but the reload time of her guns is a anemic 8 seconds. Fubuki won't be doing a lot of offensive work with her main battery; that distinction is left to her three triple-tube torpedo launchers, a notable upgrade over the two launchers of immediate predecessor Mutsuki.
Captains of stock, un-upgraded Fubuki will struggle to make her baseline torpedoes work well. They have a paltry 6.0 km range — oddly worse than those of Mutsuki — to go with Fubuki’s detection radius of 6.9 km. This flies in the face of traditional Japanese destroyer game play to this point: that of the stealthy ninja striking unseen. In her early configuration, Fubuki must almost adopt American-style destroyer tactics of using islands to shield her while she launches torpedoes from a favorable position. When combined, all these factors make Fubuki a challenge to play until Hull (B) and the upgraded Torpedo module are unlocked and equipped. Once that happens, though, things take a drastic turn and Fubuki becomes a true joy. Equipped with 10.0 km range torpedoes on a reload of slightly over 70 seconds, she can comfortably swamp single targets with torpedo spreads they will struggle to avoid, or dump her fish at multiple targets simultaneously, causing chaos with enemy formations. Her triple launchers give her tremendous tactical flexibility.
Clocking in at only 35 knots, her maximum speed is a drawback and her anti-aircraft suite will barely scratch enemy aircraft. Despite her weaknesses, however, a fully-upgraded Fubuki in the hands of a patient captain is a thing of beauty to behold for her teammates and a true terror to her enemies.Pros:
- Accurate, high-velocity, and long-ranged guns.
- Respectable health pool compared to her contemporaries of other nations.
- Detection radius is better than gunboat destroyers she is likely to run across.
- High volume of torpedoes and highly flexible torpedo launcher configuration (three triple-tube launchers).
- Upgraded torpedo range allows greater versatility and opens the possibility of long-range launches.
Cons:
- Top speed is the lowest in her tier; she cannot outrun pursuing American or Russian destroyers or even some enemy cruisers.
- Upgraded torpedoes are slow and have a large detection radius, making them easier to avoid.
- Long reload time and very poor turret rotation of main battery guns.
- Handling is a mixed bag: her rudder response is good, but her turning circle is large compared to her competition at Tier VI.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
- Slot 1 - Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2 - Engine Room Protection
- Slot 3 - Torpedo Tubes Modification 1 *
- Slot 4 - Propulsion Modification 1
Upgrade Slot 3 also offer Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Main Battery Modification 2 ; either will provide a minor boost to the main battery. AA Guns Modification 1 is pointless since the AA guns are short ranged.
Commander Skills
Like any good ninja, Fubuki commanders rely on stealth and having a low detection radius to impact a battle. This makes Tier 4's Concealment Expert the best skill captains can invest in. Up to that point, there are some easy skills to pick up and some tough choices to make.
Preventative Maintenance is the easy pick at Tier 1; Priority Target is generally not very useful on a destroyer that spends its time evading detection and attacking from stealth. Tier 2 demands Last Stand first. Among the other skills available, Survivability Expert pushes Fubuki’s health pool up to 15,000 points with the upgraded hull.
Tier 4 offers one outstanding option and a few intriguing possibilities. After the necessary Concealment Expert, Swift in Silence generally improves her sneak, and Radio Location may allow her to more easily ambush her enemies, particularly during the late game, or by deduction evade undetected destroyers.

Signals
For players looking for a competitive playstyle, it is highly recommended to mount the following signals: Juliet Charlie, Sierra Mike, November Foxtrot, Victor Lima, India X-Ray, and Juliet Whiskey Unaone.
Juliet Charlie protects the player from the increased potential detonation chances which India X-Ray and Juliet Whiskey Unaone give. In exchange, the two flags provide a potential increase in damage (+0.5% fire chance and +15% chance to causing flooding respectively). There is no need to worry about Victor Lima's debuff (+4% chance of getting flooding), as Fubuki is a destroyer and will most likely not survive a torpedo strike.
Sierra Mike provides Fubuki the much-needed speed (35 kts to 36.75 kts) to face off against her peers, and November Foxtrot provides that small but potentially life-saving decrease in cooldown timer for the mounted consumables.
Players looking for a more relaxed play or simply grinding down the line are highly recommended to mount the following signals: Juliet Charlie, Sierra Mike, and November Foxtrot.
Sierra Mike will give a more comfortable speed for players who wish to be able to cruise to their next target location during a battle. Juliet Charlie is optional for players who dislike being detonated. November Foxtrot is also optional, but useful if the player dislikes dealing with a disabled engine, rudder, or other vital module.
