Umikaze
Tier II · Destroyer · Japan
Rating C- (Quite weak within its tier and class · overall score 17) · Stealthy destroyer
Stealthy destroyer. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 12 min on paper · torpedoes supply 59% of it). Its 6.6 km torpedoes outrange its 4.98 km detectability by 1.6 km, ideal for stealth ambushes. Detectability of 4.98 km is 0.11 km below average, so it is less likely to be spotted first. Weak guns: avoid gunfights and focus on torpedoes or spotting. A firepower equipment build improves reload 7.5→7.12 s, dispersion 130→119 m.
