Loyang — Pan-Asian premium Tier VIII destroyer.

A destroyer specifically built for the U.S. Navy, boasting powerful AA guns and a high speed. She was handed over to the Navy of the Republic of China in 1954. Her armament was comprised of dual-purpose main guns and quintuple torpedo tubes.

During the Chinese New Year sales, Lo Yang — along with Anshan — was available for purchase.

Player Opinion

Performance

By any form, Lo Yang is practically a Benson in Taiwanese hands but she comes with two nasty surprises: you can forego speed boost for Hydroacoustic Search or Defensive AA Fire, as well as an alternate set of faster swimming — yet shorter ranged — torpedoes. A dynamic premium, Lo Yang can provide the edge needed with any selection of play style, from attempting to surprise the enemy with long-range torpedoes, to making them shake in their boots in your near-suicidal torpedo run, or even forcing other destroyers into a melee. She will serve captains well provided that they are well versed in how her original US counterpart handles.

LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Lo Yang from the NA forums

Pros:

Fast turret traverse.
Has access to the Hydroacoustic Search consumable, which turns the destroyer into a bloodhound.
Has access to the Defensive AA Fire consumable as a option.
Two torpedo loadout options.
Good rudder shift.
Impressive handling characteristics; she responds to her rudder quickly and has a tight turning radius.
Captains that are familiar with the American Tier VIII destroyer Benson, can perform well in her.

Cons:

Torpedoes may have a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" feeling; the default torpedo has a reach of 9.2km at 55 knots which is the Benson 's top torpedo; the improved torpedo moves at 68 knots but has a shorter range of 6km, requiring you to charge into near-suicide ranges for a torpedo run.
Hydroacoustic Search is in the same slot as Engine Boost so choose wisely.
Like its premium colleague Błyskawica, the ship is not good for captain cross-class training other than for her fellow Pan-Asia destroyer colleague, Anshan.
Lo Yang is basically a (C) Hull Benson bearing the Taiwanese ensign, so you have only four (4) guns instead of the five (5) on the Benson (B) Hull.

Research

She has a second optional upgrade for torpedoes that travel faster in exchange for shorter range.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Concealment Module 1 is highly recommended in Upgrade Slot 6.

Camouflage

As a premium ship, Lo Yang comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, makes her harder to hit, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
