Tier VIII · Destroyer · Japan · Premium
Rating C (Weak within its tier and class · overall score 29) · Stealthy destroyer
Stealthy destroyer. Top speed is 34.2 kn (2 kn below average), but 2.7 s rudder shift and 9.4°/s turning make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. Its 8.4 km torpedoes outrange its 5.82 km detectability by 2.6 km, ideal for smoke-backed ambushes. Detectability of 5.82 km is 0.47 km below average, so it is less likely to be spotted first. Its 7.9 km range is short, so use islands and fight inside 6 km. A firepower equipment build improves reload 5.5→5.22 s, dispersion 121→110 m.
