+ | The start of the Pan-Asian tech tree, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is best played at medium to long range. She is the smallest ship at her tier, and compensates for a lack of armor with agility and concealment. Her small size and fast rudder shift make her a difficult target to hit. When under fire, captains should use evasive maneuvers such as weaving and try to maintain 7 to 8 kilometers of distance between themselves and the enemy. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | If ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' finds herself in a close-range engagement, she will struggle to penetrate the citadel armor belt of ''[[Erie]], [[Hashidate]]'', and ''[[Hermelin]]''. If this occurs, aim for the bow, stern, or superstructure to avoid non-penetrations. Despite her inability to hit the citadel of those ships, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is capable of penetrating the citadel armor belt of ''[[Black Swan]], [[Bougainville]]'', and ''[[Orlan]]''. If any of those three ships show their broadside, captains should aim for the waterline under the smoke stack to inflict severe damage. Captains should also utilize ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s excellent concealment to dictate the engagement. When fully specialized, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' will not be out spotted by any of the other Tier I ships. This stealthiness enables her to set up ambush-style attacks or disengage from a greater enemy force. | |||

? | The | + | The Type D escorts (''kaibōkan'') were laid down from October 1943 under the 1943-44 Programme and completed between March 1944 and the end of the war. The design was very similar to Type C, but because of a shortage of diesel motors, turbine machinery was installed, slightly increasing maximum speed but greatly reducing endurance. (4500nm instead of 6500nm, at 16kts). The building time was between four and nine months. The class received even numbers, in sequence. Building yards were Mitsubishi, Nagasaki; Kawasaki, Kobe; Ishikawajima, Tokyo (a complete list of the builders of particular units is not available). As with the Type C units, the light AA armament was increased in 1944-45 to 12 and later 16-25mm, and there was one 3 inch depth charge thrower. The hulls of ''Nos. 70, 80'' and ''122'' were demolished on the slipways in 1945. A further 72 units were cancelled in 1944 before construction began (''Nos 86-100, 108, 110, 114, 120, 128, 136, 140, 146, 148, 152, 162-184, 188'', and ''206-286''), as were another 60 projected in the 1944-45 Programme (''No 288'' onwards).<ref name="Conway">[Sturton, Ian.

+ | ''CD-40'' was a Type D Escort Ship (丁型海防艦 ''Tei-gata Kaibōkan'') constructed at Fujinagata Shipyards in Osaka, Japan, and completed on 12 December 1944. Her career with the Imperial Japanese Navy lasted barely a year, as she escorted convoys of war materiel and supplies throughout Japanese-held territory. She had several run-ins with U.S. Navy submarines, including USS ''Balao'' and USS ''Tirante'', failing to defend her escorts on a few occasions. | |||
? | + | She was damaged by an aerial mine dropped by a B-29 "Superfortress" off Futaoi Island in the Sea of Japan on 13 April 1945 and was laid up for a month for repairs. Following her return to active duty on 20 May, she saw no additional action or convoy duty for the remainder of the war. She was struck from the list of the Imperial Japanese Navy on 30 November 1945 and assigned to mine sweeping duties for the Allied Occupation Force. | ||

Player Opinion
Performance
The start of the Pan-Asian tech tree, Chengan is best played at medium to long range. She is the smallest ship at her tier, and compensates for a lack of armor with agility and concealment. Her small size and fast rudder shift make her a difficult target to hit. When under fire, captains should use evasive maneuvers such as weaving and try to maintain 7 to 8 kilometers of distance between themselves and the enemy.
If Chengan finds herself in a close-range engagement, she will struggle to penetrate the citadel armor belt of Erie, Hashidate, and Hermelin. If this occurs, aim for the bow, stern, or superstructure to avoid non-penetrations. Despite her inability to hit the citadel of those ships, Chengan is capable of penetrating the citadel armor belt of Black Swan, Bougainville, and Orlan. If any of those three ships show their broadside, captains should aim for the waterline under the smoke stack to inflict severe damage. Captains should also utilize Chengan's excellent concealment to dictate the engagement. When fully specialized, Chengan will not be out spotted by any of the other Tier I ships. This stealthiness enables her to set up ambush-style attacks or disengage from a greater enemy force.Pros:
- Very small and agile (lowest turning circle radius and rudder shift time of all Tier I ships).
- Excellent concealment (lowest detectability range of all Tier I ships).
- Fastest turret rotation of all Tier I ships.
- Small and therefore difficult to hit.
Cons:
- Weak citadel armor belt.
- Shortest main battery firing range of all Tier I ships.
- Sluggish main battery reload time.
- Slow top speed (slowest Tier I ship together with Black Swan and Bougainville).
