Yūgumo — Japanese Tier IX destroyer.

Developed from the preceding Kagero-class destroyers, the very similar Yūgumo-class was a minor revision featuring new main gun mounts capable of high angle fire, reinforced AA defenses and a streamlined bridge structure.

Player Opinion

Performance

Replacing Kagero (as of Update 0.5.15) as the penultimate destroyer in this particular branch of the Japanese destroyer line is Yūgumo. Captains who have progressed this far up the branch will be well-familiar with the layout of the ship, but will probably be disappointed in how few improvements there are over Tier VIII's Kagero lurking inside the hull.

One drastic improvement is the reload time of Yūgumo’s main battery guns. Her reload time is a mere 5.7 seconds; glacially slow by American destroyer standards, but a speed heretofore unseen with Japanese 127 mm guns. With the right mix of upgrades and commander skills that number can drop even lower, bringing her DPM close to a true gunboat, though she will still lack the raw DPM of American destroyers or the excellent ballistics of Russian destroyers. Her main battery range goes up significantly as well, further emphasizing the benefits of her improved reload speed.

From Update 0.6.6 Yūgumo has the option of two torpedo upgrades from the stock Type 93 mod. 2s. First, there are the Type F3s, which are outrageously fast at 76 knots but at the cost of only having 8 km of range. The more recommended choice, however, are the Type 93 mod. 3s, which remain at 67 knots but offer a boost in range to 12 km as well as a damage increase. Most captains will choose to use the new final upgrade slot to improve the torpedo reload speed, further increasing her torpedo potential.

Most everything else remains as it was from Kagero. Her speed improves slightly (0.5 knots), and her handling characteristics remain virtually identical. Her main battery is now dual-purpose, but practically in name only; it does a better job giving away her presence to nearby planes than actually defending the ship and should generally be ordered to hold fire. Her health pool goes up by the slimmest of amounts (400 hit points). Even Yūgumo’s detection radius is worse than Kagero’s, but it's very slight and not a serious handicap.

Pros:

Excellent reload speed for her main battery guns (in comparison to most other Japanese destroyers, that is).
Has access to Upgrade Slot 3.
Lowest detection radius among Tier IX destroyers.
Very potent torpedo armament, capable of impressive reload speeds with the right mix of upgrades and commander skills.
Can equip Torpedo Reload Booster.

Cons:

Lowest top speed among Tier IX destroyers; Yūgumo has a difficult time escaping enemy gunboat destroyers that are able to close with her.
Highly vulnerable to enemy aircraft, especially if equipping Torpedo Reload Booster instead of Smoke Generator.
Turret traverse time for main battery remains slow.
Detection range of Type 93 torpedoes gives opponents more time to react than torpedoes from Fletcher or Udaloi.

Research

The mod. 3 torpedoes offer a boost in damage and increased flexibility due to the improved range, and should be researched first. Next, the hull will give a bit of extra survivability. The gun range can be saved for last.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Like so many of her Japanese destroyer brethren before her, Yugumo’s flexibility in upgrade options is somewhat limited. Upgrade Slot 1 is best filled with Main Armaments Modification 1, while Upgrade Slot 4 and Upgrade Slot 5 should be filled with Propulsion Modifications 1 and 2, respectively. Concealment System Modification 1 is mandatory in Upgrade Slot 6. This leaves only a couple of upgrade slots that can truly customize how Yugumo plays.

Torpedo Build: Most captains will opt to fully maximize Yūgumo’s torpedo armament. This means installing Torpedo Tubes Modification 3 in Upgrade Slot 3, and either Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Main Battery Modification 2 in Upgrade Slot 2. The latter may seem like an odd choice, but is a good hedge bet for when she finds herself in a close-quarters gunfight with the likes of a Fletcher or Gearing. In either case, stacking Torpedo Tubes Modification 3 with Tier 3 commander skill Torpedo Armament Expertise brings Yūgumo’s torpedo reload time for her Type 93 torpedoes down to slightly under 86 seconds; it drops to less than 80 seconds for the Type F3 torpedoes. These are terrifyingly low numbers that no opposing battleship driver wants to hear given how hard those torpedoes hit.

Main Battery Build: Alternatively, Yūgumo is one of the only Japanese destroyers not named Akizuki that can realistically consider tailoring the ship around her main battery guns. By combining Aiming Systems Modification 1 in Upgrade Slot 2, Main Battery Modification 3 in Upgrade Slot 3, and the Tier 1 commander skill Basic Firing Training, Yūgumo drops her main battery reload time down to 4.5 seconds. While this is still 50% slower than Fletcher, it compares favorably to Udaloi. Playing Yūgumo in this style of build is challenging, but not impossible.

Consumables

Yugumo can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Smoke Generator  or Torpedo Reload Booster 
Slot 3: Engine Boost

Camouflage

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

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Yūgumo with Type 19 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

Yūgumo’s reliance on her torpedoes for much of her damage output make equipping Juliet Whiskey Unaone signal flags highly attractive, particularly for Torpedo Build captains; Torpedo Build captains will want to equip November Foxtrot flags as well, in order to improve the cooldown speed of Torpedo Reload Booster. Main Battery Build captains should equip India X-Ray and Victor Lima flags. Juliet Charlie and Sierra Mike flags are recommended regardless of build.

+===History===
+====Design====
+Yūgumo (夕雲?, "Evening Clouds") was the lead ship of her class of destroyer built for the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Apart from the modified bridge structure — which reduced wind resistance and turbulence compared to the design on the ''Kagero''-class — her class was visually indistinguishable from ''Kagero'' class vessels, and was otherwise very similar. These would be the final class of large anti-surface destroyer the Imperial Japanese Navy would produce.
