Hatsuharu — Japanese Tier VI destroyer.
Hatsuharu was a high performance ship despite displacement limitations imposed by the London Naval Treaty of 1930. The ship boasted a comparatively good AA defense. The powerful main battery guns were placed in enclosed turret mounts and could deliver anti-aircraft fire.

Player Opinion
Performance
Hatsuharu is the Tier VI entry in the IJN "gunboat" branch. Japanese destroyer captains who are moving up to Hatsuharu from Minekaze will find their new acquisition to be something of a mixed bag: her guns are a significant upgrade from those of Minekaze, while it can be argued that her torpedo armament is a downgrade. Not only is she less flexible with only two torpedo launchers, the reload time is very nearly double that of Minekaze; in exchange, Hatsuharu’s torpedoes can eventually be upgraded to longer-ranged with a bigger punch.
Without her improved torpedoes, Hatsuharu is stuck with fish that have a paltry 6.0 km range. This forces Hatsuharu into more of a mid-tier American destroyer play style, requiring captains to utilize islands and smoke effectively to land successful torpedo strikes against enemy capital ships. Hatsuharu plays like a completely different ship once she has her upgraded torpedoes, however. The 10.0 km range of her Type 8 mod. 2 torpedoes is more than workable, and her guns can add notable contributions to her damage when used judiciously in the right situations.
Hatsuharu comes off as the inferior destroyer when compared side-by-side with Fubuki, but things flip back the other way one tier up when the same comparison is made between the successors of both ships (Akatsuki and Shiratsuyu). Captains frustrated with Hatsuharu should remember that she is merely a stepping-stone to better things beyond.Pros:
- Improved hard hitting guns over Fubuki gain significantly increased rate of fire, range, traverse, and shell arcs.
- One of the best torpedo range at her tier at 10 km.
- Lowest detection range of Tier VI destroyers.
- Decent torpedo speed makes her torpedoes harder to dodge.
- Decent torpedo reload time.
- Generous torpedo launch arcs.
- Very good concealment, when full upgraded with concealment build she can potentially be unspotted the entire game.
Cons:

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Hatsuharu are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Engine Room Protection
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Main Battery Modification 2
- Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1
Mid-tier destroyers like Hatsuharu don't have many outstanding options for upgrades. Slot 3 offers either Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Main Battery Modification 2; either provides a minor boost to Hatsuharu’s main battery. Torpedo Tubes Modification 1 is viable, but may not be the best option.
