LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Wukong from the NA forums.

Pros:

Shares many of the positive aspects of the Charles Martel upon which it is based
Low surface detection when fully built, allows for stealth torpedo capability
rather decent mid and short range AA rings
Rather powerful HE shells, with a 12.0% Fire Chance
Access to scout aircraft
Access to Torpedo Reload Booster
Quick on it's feet, with a 9.8 second rudder shift and a small-ish turning circle

Cons:

Shares many of the weak points of Charles Martel
Loses Engine Boost and Main Battery Reload Booster
Has only 3 Torpedoes per side.Though they deal good damage, they are Deepwater, making them useless against DDs
Pathetically slow for what it is, even Baltimore and Hipper are faster
No access to Hydroacoustic Search, only has Defensive AA Fire
Horribly squishy, prone to exploding if caught by heavy cruisers showing broadside ( and all Battleships within her matchmaking spread with a gun caliber of 380mm or larger at any angle)

Research

As a premium ship, Wukong doesn't have any upgrades to research.
