Isokaze — Japanese Tier IV destroyer.

Developed from the Umikaze class. Unlike her predecessor, Isokaze had increased displacement and enhanced torpedo armament. The ship's artillery, though sufficiently powerful, had a low rate of fire which was typical of all Japanese destroyers.

Player Opinion

Pros:

Better turret rotation than Wakatake but still not great
Powerful and fast upgraded torpedoes
High maneuverability

Cons:

Low rate of fire with its main guns
Steering and engine can be taken out very quickly multiple times
Loses much speed during any type of turn

Research

Research progression is dependent on personal playstyle.
Upgrade to the B hull first as it increases hit points by 1,300, adds 1 main turret, and decreases rudder shift time by 1.3s.

For players who prefer a torpedo-based playstyle, upgrade the torpedoes next. The torpedo upgrade gives the torpedoes more damage in exchange for a slightly longer cooldown.
For players who prefer a gunboat-based playstyle, go for the Gun Fire Control System upgrade next. The range upgrade gives the guns an additional 0.8km firing range.

Once the first two modules are researched, research the one remaining module.

Optimal Configuration

Slot 1 - Magazine Modification 1 may seem tempting here, but the signal Juliet Charlie accomplishes the same thing. Prefer Main Armaments Modification 1 to preserve the torpedo tubes as long as possible.
Slot 2 - Give a slight preference to Propulsion Modification 1 over Steering Gears Modification 1 , though without the Last Stand skill, both are equally desperate.

+===History===
+====Design====
+The Isokaze-class destroyers (磯風型駆逐艦 Isokazegata kuchikukan?) was a class of four destroyers of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
+The ''Isokaze''-class destroyers were designed as part of the first phase of the Hachi-hachi Kantai program of the Imperial Japanese Navy. With the commissioning of the new high speed battleships ''Yamashiro'' and ''Ise'', escort vessels with equally high speed and blue ocean capabilities were required. Four vessels were built, with the order split between Kure Naval Arsenal, Kawasaki Shipyards in Kobe and Mitsubishi Shipyards in Nagasaki.
+The ''Isokaze''-class ships were a slightly larger and updated version of the previous Umikaze class. Externally, the design went to a three smokestack profile, with a curved, rather than straight bow.
-|Gallery=<!-- write below list of files without tags. description (if necessary) for each should be separated with template {{!}} --><gallery>
+Internally, the engines were replaced with heavy fuel oil-fired steam turbine engines. Two vessels (''Amatsukaze'' and ''Tokitsukaze'') used Brown-Curtis turbine engines, and the other two (''Isokaze'', ''Hamakaze'') used Parsons turbine engines. Advances in turbine design and construction permitted more reliable operation than previously with the ''Umikaze''. The rated power of 27,000 shp (20,000 kW) gave the vessels a high speed of 34 knots (63 km/h), and a range of 3,360 nautical miles (6,220 km) at 14 knots (26 km/h); however, the engines could not be run continuously at over 7,000 shp (5,200 kW), which still considerably limited performance.
-</gallery>|History=<!-- write text below -->
+Armament was increased over the previous classes, with four QF 4.7 inch Gun Mk I - IV, pedestal-mounted along the centerline of the vessel, two in front of the smokestacks and two to the stern. The number of torpedoes was increased to three launchers, each with a pair of 533 mm torpedoes. Anti-aircraft protection was provided by four machine guns.
