Isokaze — Japanese Tier IV destroyer.
Developed from the Umikaze class. Unlike her predecessor, Isokaze had increased displacement and enhanced torpedo armament. The ship's artillery, though sufficiently powerful, had a low rate of fire which was typical of all Japanese destroyers.

Player Opinion
Performance
"Shore Wind" is a solid Tier 4 Destroyer that serves as a balance point, leading to both the gunboat line & the torpedo line. She can launch powerful torpedoes at outside of detection range, but one should keep a close eye on the thin margin of error between detection & torpedo range. Isokaze is no slouch in a gunfight either, with HE shells can easily rip apart other destroyers, while AP shells can citadel tier 5 cruisers. Beware of the slow turret traverse. When fighting against carriers, Isokaze's upgraded AA suite can be specialized in. Using the correct flags, skills, and high maneuverability, Isokaze can be a serious pain for carriers to fight.
Pros:
- Better turret rotation than Wakatake but still not great
- Powerful and fast upgraded torpedoes
- High maneuverability
- Coupled with maneuverability, upgraded AA can present a problem to attacking planes
- Hard-hitting HE shells
Cons:
- Low rate of fire with its main guns
- Vulnerable steering and engine
- Loses much speed during any type of turn
- Very low HP pool: one torpedo is enough to sink it
Research
Isokaze is the base of three IJN tech tree branches:
- Research Hull B first to improve the ship and to unlock the "torpedo" DD branch. This also greatly upgrades AA defense.
- Research Type4 Mod. 2 GFCS not so much for the greater range, which the guns can barely use, but for access to the IJN CV branch.
- Research Type 6 torpedoes next to ironically unlock the "gunboat" DD branch. While this improves torpedo speed and damage, it is a downgrade to torpedo reload. Whether this is an upgrade is up to the player.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Isokaze are as follows:
- Slot 1 - Main Armaments Modification 1
to preserve the torpedo tubes as long as possible.
- Slot 2 - Engine Room Protection
