Tier X · Destroyer · Japan
Rating B (Average within its tier and class · overall score 51) · Gunboat destroyer
A Japanese gunboat destroyer that rains fire with ten 100 mm dual-purpose guns. Firing 10 shells every 3.0 s gives HE DPM of 53,200, 29% above average, and expected fires per minute 60% above average keep battleships constantly firefighting. With 10.14 km range and accurate 6 km dispersion of about 99 m it excels at stacking fires from behind islands at range, but low penetration means it should mostly use HE. Its long hull, 4.8 s rudder shift and 7.2°/s turn rate are sluggish, and 7.38 km detectability is long, making it an easy target for torpedo bombers and cruisers. Three smoke charges and the Torpedo Reload skill let it hold the line and fight back.
