Player Opinion
Performance
Tier VIII Premium Japanese destroyer AL Yukikaze 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 is not allowed to equip the Torpedo Reload Booster consumable. Fans of Kagero will find that AL Yukikaze offers them a slightly different, high-risk, high-reward playstyle.
In all other aspects, AL Yukikaze is identical to Kagero: speed, handling, detection... even down to her mediocre main battery and nearly complete lack of an AA suite. The Japanese destroyer line becomes challenging to excel in at high tiers, but like Kagero, AL Yukikaze 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.Pros:
- Lowest detection range of all Tier VIII destroyers.
- Fast, powerful torpedoes that hit like freight trains.
- Good handling; same turning circle as her predecessors, quick rudder shift.
Cons:
- Mediocre top speed of 35 knots.
- Main battery is slightly improved from Akatsuki, but is still nothing special.
- Painfully long torpedo reload time.
- Does not have access to Torpedo Reload Booster .

Camouflage

Signals
AL Yukikaze captains should mount standard signal flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. Sierra Mike () flags are highly recommended to increase the ship's top speed. November Foxtrot () and India Yankee () 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.
