Asashio — Japanese premium Tier VIII destroyer.
Japanese destroyer Asashio was the ultimate ship of this type in Japan, built after the launch of the Fubuki-class ships. The absence of constraints on displacement allowed naval architects to find a good balance between speed, armament, and hull size. Due to a good overall layout, Asashio served as a prototype for the majority of subsequent Japanese destroyers.
Asashio was first released for sale worldwide on 27 April 2018.

Player Opinion
Performance
Asashio is externally very comparable to her Tier VIII tech tree compatriot Kagero. They share nearly identical concealment ratings, maneuverability statistics, guns, and health. The two ships are extremely similar, but Asashio plays completely differently due to her unique torpedo armaments, and by having the Torpedo Reload Booster occupying a separate consumable slot (as with Akizuki).
Technically speaking, Asashio is the stealthiest destroyer in her matchmaking spread, having a slightly smaller air detection radius than Kagero and HSF Harekaze. This allows her to control vision and spotting ranges exceedingly well, utilizing her stealth as another layer of armor against enemy vessels. It is armor she desperately needs, as Asashio’s main weapons are her torpedoes, though her guns can be used in certain situations. It's her torpedoes which make her truly unique: Asashio is equipped with a deep water variant of the same Type 93 mod. 2 torpedoes found aboard other Tier VIII and IX Japanese ships, and similar to those found in the Pan-Asian destroyer line. They have increased flooding chance, are harder for enemies to detect, and have a whopping 20 kilometer range while still retaining 67 knots of speed... but can only hit battleships and aircraft carriers.
As a result of Asashio only being able to damage battleships and the rare aircraft carrier with her torpedoes, she is a highly specialized ship: designed to really only do one thing, but to do it exceptionally well. She has only her guns with which to combat enemy cruisers and destroyers, a state of affairs that leaves her highly vulnerable to both ship types. Captains should not be afraid to use Asashio’s guns, however, as strategically engaging key targets can lead to the difference between a win and a loss. Using her concealment to avoid unwinnable fights is also a valid strategy, and can keep her in the game for longer.
Pros:
- Stealthy, with a 5.4km surface detection range when fully kitted out.
- Torpedoes are extremely powerful against battleships.
- Has access to both Torpedo Reload Booster and Smoke Generator at the same time.
Cons:
- Slow turrets and slow reload hinder her ability to gun fight other ships, especially destroyers.
- Torpedoes can only hit battleships and aircraft carriers, limiting her target selection.
- Slow speed for a destroyer at only 35 knots.
- The torpedo's long range can make hitting allies a possibility. Her captain needs to keep an eye out for allied ships.
- No AA defense to speak of.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Asashio are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Propulsion Modification 1 or Engine Boost Modification 1 , if available
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
- Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1 ()
- Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1
Commander Skills
Asashio, like most other Japanese destroyers, makes use of the "standard" suite of commander skills preferred by Japanese destroyer captains: Priority Target, Last Stand, Torpedo Armament Expertise and Concealment Expert. After those four skills, captains can start customizing her to their preferences. Two other Level 3 skills, Survivability Expert and Superintendent, are useful for increasing Asashio’s survival and offensive capabilities, while the Level 1 skill Preventative Maintenance will help keep her critical modules functioning while under fire.
Asashio is somewhat unique in that she is one of only a few destroyers that can make good use of the Level 2 skill Torpedo Acceleration, as the -20% range penalty that the skill inflicts brings her 20.0 km torpedoes down to 16.0 km; still more than ample range for almost any engagement. The 5 knot speed boost they give her torpedoes in exchange leaves enemies with only a 4.8 second reaction time (exclusive of detection buffs). For captains not interested in Torpedo Acceleration, virtually all other Level 2 skills are also viable (with the exception of Expert Rear Gunner).

Consumables
Asashio equips the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Smoke Generator
- Slot 3: Engine Boost
- Slot 4: Torpedo Reload Booster
Camouflage
As a Premium ship, Asashio comes included 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
Asashio captains should mount standard signal flags to improve the ship’s performance in battle. Captains looking to improve upon the ship’s armament should mount Victor Lima (), Juliet Whiskey Unaone (), and November Foxtrot () signal flags. Sierra Mike () signal flags are recommended to increase the ships top speed. Juliet Charlie () flags are also recommended to prevent detonations. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to increase the ship’s economic gains per battle.
