 Tier VIII Premium Japanese destroyer ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a clone of Tier VIII tech tree destroyer ''[[Kagero]]'' with two major changes: she is locked into equipping the Type F3 torpedoes rather than offering captains a choice between the Type 90 mod. 1's or Type 93 mod. 2's as ''Kagero'' does, and she cannot equip the {{Torpedo Reload Booster}} consumable. Fans of ''Kagero'' will find that ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' offers them a slightly different, high-risk, high-reward play style.  Tier VIII Premium Japanese destroyer ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a clone of Tier VIII tech tree destroyer ''[[Kagero]]'' with two major changes: she is locked into equipping the Type F3 torpedoes rather than offering captains a choice between the Type 90 mod. 1's or Type 93 mod. 2's as ''Kagero'' does, and she cannot equip the {{Torpedo Reload Booster}} consumable.

 +As for playing her, players should note that ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' only being able to slot Type F3 torpedoes comes with one major downside compared to her tech tree clone: the lack of range. A mere 8km of range on the F3s will prove difficult to use in a game fighting enemy ships with Radar or in a carrier game. On the contrary to their comparatively low range, the F3s hit extremely hard, are one of the fastest torpedoes at the tier, and will reward players who make smart decisions, take strong positions, and have patience. As most IJN destroyers above tier 6 or so, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has identical guns to ''Kagero'', which have extremely hard-hitting HE shells but a rather low rate of fire. This requires players to take smart fights against enemy destroyers as a straight gunfight will usually result in sending you back to the port.

Player Opinion

Performance

Tier VIII Premium Japanese destroyer ' is a clone of Tier VIII tech tree destroyer Kagero with two major changes: she is locked into equipping the Type F3 torpedoes rather than offering captains a choice between the Type 90 mod. 1's or Type 93 mod. 2's as Kagero does, and she cannot equip the Torpedo Reload Booster When used, torpedo reload time is significantly reduced. consumable. Fans of Kagero will find that ' offers them a slightly different, high-risk, high-reward play style.

In all other aspects, ' is identical to Kagero: speed, handling, detection... even down to her near-complete lack of an AA suite. The Japanese torpedo-destroyer branch becomes challenging to excel in at high tiers, but like Kagero, ' provides all the tools necessary for captains to do just that; they need only bring patience and a willingness to learn how to handle her.

As for playing her, players should note that ' only being able to slot Type F3 torpedoes comes with one major downside compared to her tech tree clone: the lack of range. A mere 8km of range on the F3s will prove difficult to use in a game fighting enemy ships with Radar or in a carrier game. On the contrary to their comparatively low range, the F3s hit extremely hard, are one of the fastest torpedoes at the tier, and will reward players who make smart decisions, take strong positions, and have patience. As most IJN destroyers above tier 6 or so, ' has identical guns to Kagero, which have extremely hard-hitting HE shells but a rather low rate of fire. This requires players to take smart fights against enemy destroyers as a straight gunfight will usually result in sending you back to the port.

Pros:

  • Lowest detection range of all Tier VIII destroyers.
  • Fast, powerful torpedoes that hit extremely hard.
  • Good handling; same turning circle as her predecessors, quick rudder shift.
  • High HE shell damage, useful for engaging enemy destroyers

Cons:

  • Mediocre top speed of 35 knots.
  • Main battery is the typical sluggish, slow-reloading IJN DD guns.
  • Painfully long torpedo reload time without access to Torpedo Reload Booster When used, torpedo reload time is significantly reduced..
  • AA is weak as the 127mm guns are not dual-purpose.

Research

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

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for ' are as follows:

Torpedo Tubes Modification 1 further protects her tubes from incapacitation and adds 5 kts to torpedo speed. Aiming Systems Modification 1 : -7% main battery dispersion. / +20% torpedo tubes traverse speed. / +5% secondary battery firing range. / -5% secondary battery dispersion. and Main Battery Modification 2 : +15% to main battery traverse speed. help her weak artillery if a hybrid build is desired.

Commander Skills

Take skills that enhance her survivability and torpedo performance. 'Grease the Gears' may be useful if you have an extra point to spend.

Consumables

' equips the following consumables:

Camouflage

As a premium ship, ' comes with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

AL Yukikaze captains should mount standard signal flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) flags are highly recommended to increase the ship's top speed. November Foxtrot (-5% reload time on all consumables.) and India Yankee (-20% to fire duration.) flags should be mounted to improve the ship's survivability. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to increase the ship's economic gains per battle.


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
