Isokaze — Japanese Tier IV destroyer.
The four Isokaze-class ships built in 1916 and 1917 had the same general hull design as the Umikaze class but featured increased engine power and stronger armament. They were specifically designed to escort Ise- and Fusō-class battleships. Isokaze was laid down in October 1916 and entered service the following year. She participated in World War I, patrolling the coast of China.

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.
