I would use smoke primarily to harvest some damage by gunfire as well. A Kagero, Yukikaze or Asashio cannot outrun nor outspot a Harekaze and the detection advantage allows you to pick fights on your terms most of the time if played well, while in Akizuki, you have to work hard to ambush DDs to actually get that done.Īnd Harekaze does not need to be as bold as Akizuki, because at the end of the day, it carries still the stock Kagero torps and makes a decent torp boat. Yes, it cannot pick fights as boldly as an Akizuki, because it isn't as strong, but it still has an incredibly good dpm for a ship with the best concealment value in high tier (till subs arrive). Something like Yukikaze can actually be extremely dangerous to an Akizuki, just alone because it can outspot it and if it gets a decent angle, good luck dodging F3 torps. It's not like some French DD that can run you down. Most DDs that play well will see Akizuki coming and just run or keep it spotted so others can shoot it to pieces. Akizuki is healthier and has more firepower, but it is a large lumbering ship that handles almost like a tiny cruiser and has a concealment value that makes it easy to spot it. You omit that it has pretty much Kagero maneuverability and Kagero concealment.

Some could say that it does damage towards other DDs, but then seeing it also has poor winrate (50.05% - which is poor considering that mostly seasoned players were those who used Harekaze) it leads to a conclusion it is rather weak ship. It does little damage, with only Loyang being worse among all T8 DDs. This mix does not truly works as the statistics for Harekaze show ( ). Kagero can also mount TRB, so no advantage here. In the role of torpboat it is largely inferior to Kagero. It misses 25% of Akizuki firepower but also has whopping 36% less than Akizuki hitpoints! It makes a huge difference and makes it much less of a brutal anti-DD weapon that Akizuki is. It is based on stock Kagero hull, with very low hitpoints. First of all, being a mix of gunboat and torpboat it's truly gimped in both fields. It seems it is much less potent than many people seem to think of it. Next, I considered the true combat value of Harekaze.

I would probably buy it for the standard T8 DD price. First, they went crazy with the price packing the childish camo into it.

Now it was re-released and I did not buy it. Harekaze was once a ship that I truly wanted to have.
