Wakatake — Japanese Tier III destroyer.

The last class of Japanese "small" destroyers comprised eight Wakatake-class ships built between 1921 and 1923. They effectively constituted an enlarged Momi class. The lead ship of the series was laid down in December 1921. She participated in the Sino-Japanese War, patrolling the coast of China. During World War II, she served as an escort ship. The ship was sunk on March 30, 1944, during an Allied air raid on Palau.

Player Opinion

Performance

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 max, 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 as 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, if you have not been spotted, or if there are ships that can cut you down at a range i.e. cruisers and battleships. Also, it is important to turn off your AA, as it is literally worthless. Your AA gives away your position to enemy aircraft very quickly at a greater range than aerial spotting range. Also, 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.

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.
  • 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.
  • High speed and good concealment make for a good ship to get these torpedoes on target.

Cons:

  • Turret rotation cannot keep up with maneuvers. Hard to get a shot off in twisting attacks.
  • 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.
  • Has very weak artillery.
  • Torpedo distance is shorter than that of her predecessor, the Umikaze in exchange for damage
  • Has fewer hit points than that of the Umikaze

Research

The Wakatake only has one upgrade to research, the hull. Hull must be researched in order to unlock the Isokaze.

Commander Skills

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectability range.
