Wakatake is the first in the series of Japanese destroyers which has all the characteristic traits of the whole line. Low amount of hit points and the lack of armor will force you to avoid direct battle and being hit by any bullet. Avoiding is possible thanks to the large speed, almost 36 knots, and good maneuverability. Torpedoes, which are part of Wakatake equipment, are its advantage. They can be sent up to 7 kilometers away, it allows you to remain away from enemy units. Sadly, reloading takes 42 seconds. The main weakness of this ship, as of the whole line of Japanese destroyers, is the main cannons. There are only three of them and they deal small damage. You should consider the detection range, which is only 6.1 kilometers. It means that you can fire the torpedoes at enemy and remain unseen for him. The ship can be considered as a test whether you like to play the whole line of Japanese destroyers.

Development, upgrading

Only two upgrades are available for Wakatake. None of them gives you large bonuses, so it doesn't matter in which order you will develop them.

If you intend to play with Wakatake for longer, you can install two upgrades that will make the game easier - Torpedo Tubes Modification 1 and Propulsion Modification 1.

How to play when controlling Wakatake?

Try to avoid using the main artillery when you are not detected. Until you use it, you're almost invisible to enemy ships.

Remember that torpedoes are your main weapon. Their range and damage can let you destroy a powerful battleship with only one salvo.

When you're under enemy fire, swim with zigzag, this will let you avoid most of enemy bullets.

How to play against Wakatake?

Shoot Wakatake only with high explosive ammunition. You will deal large damage and will have some chance to damage an important module.

When fighting in close distance, aim at the back of the ship. You can damage Wakatake drive by doing so and thus immobilize it. Without the propulsion, the destroyer is helpless and destroying it shouldn't take more than few dozens of seconds.

When controlling a cruiser or battleship, don't sail towards this destroyer. Try to keep distance of at least few kilometers.
