Special

Kamikaze R — Japanese special premium Tier V destroyer.

A typical Japanese destroyer that was built using the experience gained during World War I. She boasted a very high speed and powerful torpedo armament. The AA artillery, however, was very weak. She is identical to Kamikaze in all respects save appearance — Kamikaze R’s camouflage is suminagashi-themed.
Kamikaze R was obtainable through Project R from 18 January 2016 to 14 February 2016. She is no longer available.

Player Opinion

Performance

Warning: The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
Refer to the in-game Port screens for more useful data.

Kamikaze R is identical to Kamikaze and Fujin and roughly analogous to Tier V tech tree ship Minekaze. She has powerful, fast reloading torpedoes that travel 7.0km at 68 knots with a maximum damage of 14,400 points, making her a serious threat to any ship she can spot. With a base detection of 6.2km, she has a significant spotting advantage over anything else in her tier that isn't a fellow Japanese destroyer, allowing her to deliver her torpedoes to unsuspecting targets.

Her guns are far more situational, with four 120mm barrels that have a 10 second reload and do 2000 points of damage per shell, making them only useful against other Japanese destroyers in an even fight. Engaging an American or Russian destroyer in a straight up 1v1 gunfight is a one-way ticket back to the Port screen. The guns are decent for harassing other ships using island or smoke cover, but captains must be very careful not to draw unwanted attention to themselves. Mobility-wise, Kamikaze handles like most other destroyers, with 37.5 knot top speed and a rudder shift time of 2.9 second and a 550m turning radius, faster than most American destroyers at tier, but slower than the Russian destroyers.

Pros:

Better turret traverse than Minekaze.
Bigger health pool than Minekaze.
As a premium ship, it makes more credits and experience than Minekaze.
Torpedoes are faster and deal more damage than Minekaze torpedoes.
Has three turrets that turn frontally, as opposed to two on the Minekaze.

Cons:

Worse anti-aircraft suite — what little there is of it — than Minekaze.
Slightly slower and worse rudder shift than Minekaze.

Research

As a premium ship, Kamikaze R doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Signals

The choice of which Signal Flags to mount will confer to the individual preference of each captain, and are subject to great variation, although there are certain flags which are worth the further emphasis. Captains should mount India Yankee to decrease time to extinguish fires, mount November Foxtrot to decrease reload time of consumables, and mount Sierra Mike to increase the ship's maximum speed. To make their torpedoes more potent, captains should mount Juliet Whisky Unaone to increase chance of causing flooding and Juliet Charlie to mitigate risk to magazine detonation from mounting the former flag. If captains wish to buff their primary artillery, they are encouraged to mount Victor Lima + India X-ray to increase fire chance to HE shells.
