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.
