?'''Pros'''+
?* Very agile and maneuverable, can out-run and out-turn almost any ship.+
?* Detection range allows for close range torpedo drops and easy flanking. +
? +
?Tier Specific Pros:+
?* The Torpedoes on the Wakatake are the strongest in tier III. The Wakatake has the capability of destroying any ship in tier III with a perfect torpedo salvo.+
?* The Wakatake is the fastest and best concealed tier 3 ship. +
? +
?'''Cons'''+
?* Torpedo range similar to detection range, thus leaving you a small window of attack.+
?* Vulnerable to rudder and engine damage. +
?* Low HP compared to other ships. +
?* Almost no AA. +
? +
?Tier Specific Cons:+
?* Has one of the lowest HPs in tier III. Careful play is advised.+
?* Has very weak artillery.+
?* Nearly non-existent AA.+
? +
?====How to Play in-game:====+
?The Wakatake is a very fragile ship, so one would need to keep the concealment distance(6.1 KM) and torpedo range(7 KM) memorized and balance between them. With 8,200 HP(upgraded), there isn't much leeway for mistake, so be sure to only go for an attack if you're certain that you will destroy the enemy ship. Stay away from areas with many ships and attack stragglers. The artillery on the ship isn't the strongest, so the guns should be used on few occasions such as lighting enemy carriers on fire(a flaming deck cannot launch or refuel planes), or when the enemy ship is low and can be killed. +
?It is a very bad idea(worse than usual) to shoot at an enemy if: +
?There are multiple enemy ships in the area,+
?there are ships that can cut you down at a range(cruisers and battleships), or+
?the enemy ship is a cruiser(Fire ONLY if ABSOLUTELY necessary). +
?Also, it is important to turn off your AA(The AA animation is very flashy, but won't do much). Your AA gives away your position to enemy aircraft very quickly at a greater range than aerial spotting range. When using torpedoes, launch them when the enemy is showing their broadside. This will make turning to avoid the torpedoes much harder and will yield greater success.+

?Both hull and torpedoes can be researched. These can be researched independently. But being a destroyer, getting the torpedo upgrade should be a large priority.+

?|History=+
?若竹 ''Wakatake, Bamboo sprout''<br />The Wakatake-class destroyers (若竹型駆逐艦 Wakatakegata kuchikukan) were a class of eight 2nd-class destroyers of the Imperial Japanese Navy.<br />+
?<br />+
?The Wakatake-class destroyers were essentially slightly modified Momi-class ships with a deeper draft to improve handling characteristics in heavy seas, particularly against rolling. Weaponry layout, general arrangement and silhouette were all identical with the Momi class. As with the Momi class, a number of types of turbine engines were used for propulsion. Asagao was built with Parsons impulse turbines, Yūgao with Escher Wyss & Cie Zoelly turbines, and the remaining vessels with Brown-Curtis turbines.<br />+
?<br />+
?The small displacement and shallow draft of the Wakatake class limited their utility as fleet escorts. As with the Momi class, in the 1920s and 1930s, they were mainly used in Chinese coastal waters.<br />+
