Player Opinion
Performance
Hayate is a Tier X Japanese destroyer that sits as a Special Ship in her tree.
In appearance Hayate looks very comparable to her same tier counterpart Shimakaze. This is only partially true as she departs from her distant cousin in several ways. The first notable change is that Hayate has different main guns that fire the same shells but with a faster reload and better gun handling. The combination of it's reload time, HE Alpha, and ability to both track and hit targets even at closer range give Hayate a potent tool against destroyers, who will most likely not be able to match her damage output.
In terms of torpedo armament Hayate also deviates. While she is using the same torpedoes and fires from quintuple launchers as well, she sacrificed one of the launchers, giving her only ten torpedoes to use at any given point. Hayate is also limited in the choice of torpedoes, having only access to the Type 93 Mod 3 torpedoes, the 12km option. These torpedoes still hit very hard against any target and also have good speed with usable range, but the long reload of two and a half minutes stock, as well as the relatively high torpedo detection, can be troublesome. Another difference to Shimakaze is that Hayate has access to Torpedo Reload Booster which shares the same slot as her Smoke Generator , so if a player chooses to sacrifice the benefits of a Smoke Generator a quick follow up torpedo salvo can be executed. The consumable cuts the torpedo reload to eight seconds.
Hayate's surface detection is average at best for a Tier X destroyer. When fully specced for concealment she sits at 6.1km, worse than for example Grozovoi her distant cousin Shimakaze. This makes destroyer hunting a dangerous task as Hayate can and often will get out-spotted, giving her prey time to react. The maneuverability is also average, with a rather slow speed though.
Against aircraft Hayate is better suited than Shimakaze, with more effective dual-purpose guns and a 40mm Bofors battery. However, against the high hit point pools of Tier X planes, the AA defense can not be relied upon.
In terms of playstyle, Hayate is a jack of all trades. She can be built for torpedoes, or guns using the necessary captain skills and modules. As for the positioning of ‘’Hayate’’, she should be played closer to the objective, battling other destroyers, and capturing objectives.Pros:
- Fast reloading guns with a high HE Alpha and fire chance
- Comfortable gun traverse speeds and good firing angles
- Hard-hitting torpedoes with decent range and speed
- Access to Torpedo Reload Booster , though in exchange for Smoke Generator
Cons:
- Long reload on the torpedo launchers
- Torpedoes have a relatively long detection range
- Reduced torpedo armament compared to Shimakaze
- Less than ideal surface detection of 6.1km when fully specced
- Mediocre AA armament
- Less than ideal shell arcs when firing at targets towards her maximum range

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Hayate are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Engine Room Protection
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 *
- Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1 ()
- Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1
- Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3 *
Upgrade Slot 3 provides players with two viable choices. Aiming Systems Modification 1 is recommended for a gunboat focused build; however, for a torpedo-centric configuration, players should take Torpedo Tubes Modification 1 .
Upgrade Slot 6 again provides a choice between strengthening gun power or torpedo reload. Those that prefer the former should mount Main Battery Modification 3 , while players wishing to strike from the shadows, will want to utilize Torpedo Tubes Modification 2 .
Commander Skills
Key skills for Hayate commanders include Priority Target, Last Stand, Survivability Expert and Concealment Expert. Regardless of intended play style, these four skills should be taken first. For a gunboat build, Basic Firing Training and Demolition Expert are important skills to increase the effectiveness of its guns. On the other hand, Torpedo Armament Expertise is vital to reduce the reload of torpedoes on the other build.
