Yūdachi — Japanese special premium Tier VII destroyer.
Yūdachi, a Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, was laid down in October 1934 and entered service in January 1937. During World War II, she escorted troop transports during the invasions of the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, and she engaged in the Battles of the Java Sea and off the Santa Cruz Islands. In 1942, the ship delivered reinforcements during the Pacific campaigns. During the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, she was damaged by USS Sterett and was subsequently abandoned by her crew. The abandoned hull of Yūdachi was sunk by gunfire from cruiser USS Portland.

Player Opinion
Performance
Yūdachi is a Shiratsuyu class destroyer representing the Japanese Navy at Tier VII. Despite visible similarities between herself and her tech tree counterpart, Yūdachi features many improved features, such as increased torpedo range, hit point (HP) pool, and access to the Torpedo Reload Booster consumable without having to sacrifice her smoke generator.
Overall, Yūdachi represents the essential Japanese destroyer playstyle, wherein players must engage by delivering patient and deliberate strikes. Yūdachi features long-range torpedoes and excellent concealment, providing her with an enormous window to fire her torpedoes without being spotted. Her main guns exist purely as a last resort and will be primarily ineffective due to slow turret traverse and reload times. In a situation where Yūdachi is spotted, it is recommended that players deploy smoke and return to concealment unless the enemy is at very low health. Even so, with such a small HP pool, it is important to preserve health whenever possible. Yūdachi will excel in stalking and hunting enemy capital ships, but it is recommended that players avoid contesting objectives early in the game or straying far from the fleet when there is a threat of encountering aircraft.
Pros:
- Access to both a Smoke Generator and Torpedo Reload Booster consumable.
- Excellent concealment.
- Excellent torpedo range.
- Slightly better than her tech-tree counterpart, Shiratsuyu.
Cons:
- Torpedoes are slow and easily spotted.
- Poor turret traverse speed and reload time.
- Poor anti-aircraft armament.
