? | + | ''Wakatake'' is a 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 only 8,200 HP, there isn't much leeway for mistakes, so be sure to only go for a certain attack. 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 a permanent fire, or when the enemy ship is low on HP 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. | ||

Player Opinion
Performance
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 Wakatake are the strongest at Tier III. Wakatake has the ability to destroy any ship at tier with a perfect 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.
- Exchanges shorter torpedo range than her predecessor Umikaze for increased damage.
- Has fewer hit points than Umikaze.
Research
Optimal Configuration
- Slot 1 - Magazine Modification 1 may seem tempting here, but the signal Juliet Charlie accomplishes the same thing. Prefer Main Armaments Modification 1 to preserve the torpedo tubes as long as possible.
- Slot 2 - Give a slight preference to Propulsion Modification 1 over Steering Gears Modification 1 , though without the Last Stand skill, both are equally desperate.
