? | At the time of Pearl | + | At the time of Pearl Harbor, ''Asashio'' was the lead ship of the 8th Destroyer Division, consisting of ''Asashio'', ''Ōshio'', ''Michishio'' and ''Arashio'', stationed in the South China Sea escorting transports bound for British Malaya and the Dutch East Indies. On 19 February 1942, while DesDiv8 were escorting two transports near Bali in the Dutch East Indies, the destroyers came under attack from a combined Dutch-American-British force consisting of two submarines, seven destroyers, and three cruisers. While the three Dutch light cruisers were decently modern vessels, the American ''[[Clemson]]''-class destroyers were sorely outdated compared to the four ''Asashio''-class destroyers. In the resulting Battle of Badung Strait, ''Asashio'' herself successfully struck the Dutch destroyer HNLMS ''Piet Hein'' with a 61cm torpedo, sinking the Dutch destroyer immediately, suffering only light damage in return. She continued to serve around the Dutch East Indies until late May, when she and her division transferred to the central Pacific. She was present at the Battle of Midway, escorting the Support Group that was covering the troop convoys to Midway. On 6 June during the battle, she came under attack by US planes, taking a hit from a 500-pound bomb and sustaining medium damage. She and sister-ship ''Arashio'' rescued 240 survivors from the sinking heavy cruiser ''Mikuma'', and then escorted badly-damaged ''[[Mogami]]'' back to Truk on 14 June. | |
Following repairs that stretched into late October 1942, ''Asashio'' returned to the front lines to take part in the Guadalcanal campaign. She saw no combat during her time serving in the Solomon Islands, making several successful transport runs in the area for the rest of 1942. During this time, she helped light cruiser ''Isuzu'' limp back to port after suffering damage from the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, then towed ''[[Shiratsuyu]]''-class destroyer ''Umikaze'' back to the island of Rabaul for repairs, and later escorted ''Zuikaku'', ''[[Mutsu]]'', and ''Suzuya'' from Truk to mainland Japan. By mid-February 1943 she was back on duty in the southwestern Pacific. While escorting a troop convoy in the Bismarck Sea, she came under attack by a joint US-AUS air strike. The first wave of attacks was devastating: all seven transports took hits that left them burning or sinking, and destroyers ''Tokitsukaze'', ''Shirayuki'' and ''Arashio'' were sunk. The fourth destroyer and final destroyer to sink was ''Asashio''. While picking up survivors from ''Arashio'' the following morning of the strike, a second wave attacked, with a B-17 striking her amidships with a 500-pound bomb, damaging her beyond repair. She sank quickly, going down with roughly 200 of her crew of 226 enlisted men and officers. | Following repairs that stretched into late October 1942, ''Asashio'' returned to the front lines to take part in the Guadalcanal campaign.

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.
- Thanks to incredible 20km torpedo range, the "Torpedo Acceleration" skill works favorably (+5mph -20%range), leaving you with more than enough range (16km!)
Cons:
- Slow turret traverse [Expert Marksman is a must] and slow reload hinder her ability to gunfight 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.

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 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.
