Special

Kamikaze — Japanese special premium Tier V destroyer.

A second group of 9 Minekaze-class destroyers, also known as the Kamikaze class, was built between 1921 and 1925. The ships featured an increased draft to improve their seaworthiness. Kamikaze was laid down under the name Destroyer No. 1 in 1921. Seven years later, the destroyer received her own name. In World War II, she was involved in the Aleutian Islands Campaign and escorted ship convoys to remote outposts in the Kuril Islands. In 1945, Kamikaze was reassigned to the Combined Fleet, and she formed part of the escort for both Ise-class battleships as they sailed from Singapore to Japan.

She is no longer available.

Player Opinion

Performance

Kamikaze is identical to Kamikaze R and Fujin and roughly analogous to Tier V tech tree ship Minekaze. She has powerful, fast reloading torpedoes that travel 7.0km at 68 knots with a maximum damage of 14,400 points, making her a serious threat to any ship she can spot. With a base detection of 6.2km, she has a significant spotting advantage over anything else in her tier that isn't a fellow Japanese destroyer, allowing her to deliver her torpedoes to unsuspecting targets.

Her guns are far more situational, with four 120mm barrels that have a 10 second reload and do 2000 points of damage per shell, making them only useful against other Japanese destroyers in an even fight. Engaging an American or Russian destroyer in a straight up 1v1 gunfight is a one-way ticket back to the Port screen. The guns are decent for harassing other ships using island or smoke cover, but captains must be very careful not to draw unwanted attention to themselves. Mobility-wise, Kamikaze handles like most other destroyers, with 37.5 knot top speed and a rudder shift time of 2.9 second and a 550m turning radius, faster than most American destroyers at tier, but slower than the Russian destroyers.

LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Kamikaze from the NA forums

Pros:

Better turret traverse than Minekaze.
Bigger health pool than Minekaze.
As a premium ship, it makes more credits and experience than Minekaze.
Torpedoes are faster and deal more damage than Minekaze torpedoes.
Has three turrets that turn frontally, as opposed to two on the Minekaze.

Cons:

Worse anti-aircraft suite — what little there is of it — than Minekaze.
Slightly slower and worse rudder shift than Minekaze.

Research

As a premium ship, Kamikaze doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Consumables

Kamikaze equips the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Smoke Generator 
Slot 3: Engine Boost

Camouflage

As a premium ship, Kamikaze comes with Type 9 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

The choice of which Signal Flags to mount will confer to the individual preference of each captain, and are subject to great variation, although there are certain flags which are worth the further emphasis. Captains should mount India Yankee to decrease time to extinguish fires, mount November Foxtrot to decrease reload time of consumables, and mount Sierra Mike to increase the ship's maximum speed. To make their torpedoes more potent, captains should mount Juliet Whisky Unaone to increase chance of causing flooding and Juliet Charlie to mitigate risk to magazine detonation from mounting the former flag. If captains wish to buff their primary artillery, they are encouraged to mount Victor Lima + India X-ray to increase fire chance to HE shells.

-[[Ship:Upgrades#Main_Armaments_Modification.C2.A01|Main Armaments Modification 1]] is highly recommended for the first slot as it protects ''Kamikaze'''s main armaments (mainly the torpedo tubes) from being incapacitated and destroyed. [[Ship:Upgrades#Aiming_Systems_Modification.C2.A01|Aiming Systems Modification 1]] is highly recommended for the second slot as it increases her torpedo tube traverse speed and decreases her main battery dispersion, as the player may have to quickly turn the torpedo tubes at an extremely close target and may have to use the guns as self-defense. [[Ship:Upgrades#Propulsion_Modification.C2.A01|Propulsion Modification 1]] is highly recommended over [[Ship:Upgrades#Steering_Gears_Modification.C2.A01|Steering Gears Modification 1]], as her speed is the main factor in being able to dodge incoming shells and her rudder shift is already very fast even when incapacitated (provided that the player has his commander trained to have Last Stand).

Alternatively, take Last Stand to increase chances of survivability when modules get incapacitated, or pick Expert Marksman to increase traverse rate of the turrets.
-For [[Crew_(WoWS)#3rd_Row_Skills|Tier 3]], choose Superintendent to load extra uses of consumables, especially Smokescreen, which will be invaluable for disadvantageous situations. High Alert is a valid choice, it will synergies well with Damage Control Party; as well as Vigilance, it will aid in a knife-fight.
-For [[Crew_(WoWS)#4th_Row_Skills|Tier 4]], the best option is to pick Advanced Firing Training to improve the range of the primary artillery; alternate useful choices are Demolition Expert, which will increase fire chance on HE shells; or Survivability Expert, increase the overall HP pool.

 Having been constructed and launched from 1922 to 1923, the nine ''Kamikaze'' class destroyers were obsolete by 1937 when war with China began. As older ships, they were primarily used as escorts for troop transports and invasion support. Their roles were expanded during World War Two to include escort of merchant ships, and later, once the system was implemented, convoy escort.
-Attrition was high and only one ship, ''Kamikaze'' herself, managed to survive the war intact. ''Kamikaze'' was wrecked in 1946, and in 1947 she was sold off and broken up for scrap.
+Attrition was high and only one ship, ''Kamikaze'' herself, managed to survive the war intact. She conducted several successful escort missions towards the end of the war in 1945 around Singapore. Notably, she engaged the submarine USS ''Hawkbill'' (SS-366) on 18 July 1945. The submarine attempted to torpedo a convoy off the coast of Malaya. The torpedoes missed and ''Kamikaze'' gave chase, dropping several depth charges that severely damaged the submarine and partially blew her out of the water.  ''Hawkbill'' was able to get away, though.  After the war, the ships' respective captains, Hitoshi Kasuga and Francis Scanland, wrote to each other regarding the battle and became friends.
+After the war, ''Kamikaze'' became a repatriation ship returning Japanese military personnel back to the Japanese home islands from Singapore, Bangkok and Saigon throughout late 1945 and early 1946. ''Kamikaze'' ran aground and was wrecked on 7 June 1946 while coming to the rescue of the ex-''Kunashiri'', another repatriation vessel, off Cape Omaezaki, Shizuoka Prefecture.  She was sold off and broken up for scrap in 1947.
 Of the remaining ''Kamikaze'' class destroyers, four were sunk by submarine, three by air, and one, ''Hayate'', was sunk by shore battery during the invasion of Wake Island in 1941.
