Isokaze — Japan Tech Tree Tier IV Destroyer.

The four Isokaze-class ships built in 1916 and 1917 had the same general hull design as the Umikaze class but featured increased engine power and stronger armament. They were specifically designed to escort Ise- and Fusō-class battleships. Isokaze was laid down in October 1916 and entered service the following year. She participated in World War I, patrolling the coast of China.

Pros

• Powerful and fast upgraded torpedoes
• High maneuverability
• Hard-hitting HE shells

Cons

• Low rate of fire
• Very low HP pool
