Time for Space Battleship Yamato Music! Set a course to Centauri!
ended up on enceladus instead
Fun & Engaging XDDDD
The Yudachi was announced quite a while ago, wonder where it is now
+TheAllaksion put them both in ^^
A premium camo that is a Kancolle Yudachi should be made in same time.
Whether they tested poi as a part of Azur Lane collabs or something else is coming to WG. Heck even Montpelier suddenly shown up out of nowhere and said to be a part of Azur Lane collabs.
Coming soon (TM)
Looks like a reward ship.
azur lane thing I believe.
A reward ship for those who’ve been bad……..
Maybe as a nice historical niche they could give it a enemy shell dispersion bonus as a reference to its historical status as the luckiest destroyer of the ijn
But the luckiest thing the ship historically achieved is to not get hit despite numerous battle+defeat it is in. I think give it even crazier concealment can justify that
Edit: yea that actually makes sense
I agree, but they’d have to nerf something. Even a little. Otherwise she’d be classed as OP and Pay to win :/
+Grasshopper Kelly I don’t think she can be op.
She’s literally a kagero that has nerfed F3 torps, so there’s nothing really special about her.
Such a shame that WG decides to sh*t on arguably the most famous WWII IJN DD ever
+Jason Chan well there’s the Yudachi?
She might not be OP as it is, but the higher dispersion from a premium camo will probably be seen by others, not necessarily you or me, as Pay to win.
Yukikaze should have the best damage control and anti-dispersion camo good damn it
If Enterprise doesn’t get super damage control, then nothing does.
+Patrick Rogers You are asking a Russian game for that either you have lost your mind or you expect too much on Russian.
Not even worth it if it were a free ship.
Soo.. a Short range DD? I guess you could call her Yolokaze.
Leeroikaze.
+Conner Rolofson Leeroi = Leeroy. It’s not like Yolokaze means anything in Japanese either, we’re just screwing around.
this is the true kamikaze!
Yukikaze the luckiest DD in the world, I mean seriously her records was like goin a dangerous place such as Tengo and she did survived…. Hopefully WG will make this ship survive the battles everytime aswell XD….
Yuudachi Where are you?
well unlike other IJN ships, yukikaze had quite stationary crew where they were more familiar with their ship and effective with damage control, which allowed them to survive minor to moderate damage (compared to say Taiho, where the crew caused the explosion in the boiler by trying to open a hole with a drill to let out flammable gas). The luckiest thing to yukikaze would be having a great crew team who knew the importance of damage control and excelled in it. (Again poor Taiho)
*God I wish I had bought the HSF Harekaze….* IMHO – best all round premium T8 IJN DD!
I feel ya, the day I finally got money to buy it the thing was removed….
True, I am happy owner of Harekaze ^ ^
Review footage shnould be soilo play
This is almost worse than playing a Kamikaze or Fujin at tier 8… At least those ships have FAST torpedo rearm, and 3 launchers for better launch patterns!
If this ship had 2 extra smokes, AND a torpedo reload booster, with a fast smoke rearm, then it MIGHT be a fun ship with a very specific style!
And i have even less reason since i own Harekaze. Only difference from kagerou is the hull, but i can use ducky guns to compensate for it as well.
They should’ve just brought back the Kitakami if they wanted a unique IJN DD
but isnt she a CL ?
+Wolf 71288
…SILENCE!
Derp on my part, yes she is a CL. I’m surprised I forgot, I still have PTSD from the beta
She was garbage to play, terrible in all aspects and the torps weren’t anything special…
+Stephen Moir
Tell that to an inexperienced me, sailing all “LEEDLE LEEDLE LEEDLE LEE” in a battleship. She might have been garbo, but she sent a message to idiot battleship players.
“STOP BEING IDIOTS.”
they nerf IJN ships but buff russian ships i sense a bit of bias here
Weeb
I’m calling it right now. WG is testing more IJN DD nerfs!
Notser: Short range DD, torps with max 8km range…
Me: OK, but I guess the reload must be pretty good, right?
Notser:… but the reload is still awful, 1min 40 seconds
Me:… I’ll pass, WG.
I see no love for japanese here :c bring nothing new, harekaze fills better the tier 8 ship style for both branches u.u
wg: * make a close quarter dd specialist*
CC: the radar and meta make the ship useless and frustrating
wg: *shocked pikachu face*
This does not worth to be called yukikaze.
Maybe they would give that DD the British fast accelerate engine instead of speed boost . Plus torp reload boost.
Right, because the concealment, insane torpedo speed & damage potential, 2.5km stealth torp buffer AND great torp concealment aren’t “good.”
+Patriot36 The point you’re missing is why would you spend money on this when you can get all that for free with the kagero
dd concealment and short-range tactics in general seem quite difficult to leverage in the current cv+radar meta.
