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.

Tachibana is pretty fun and introduces the flavor of higher-tier IJN torpedo destroyers.

Pros:

• Fast torpedo reload at her tier.
• Fast rudder shift.
• Good concealment.
• AP shells will never ricochet.

Cons:

• Torpedos have poor speed of 44 knots.
• Small healthpool, making survivability weaker.
• Poor main battery range.

As a Premium ship, Tachibana doesn't have any upgrades to research.

History

Design

The Tachibana was a Sakura-class destroyer built for the Imperial Japanese Navy between 1911 and 1912. The primary difference between the Sakura and Umikaze class were the types of engine; with the former being powered by vertical expansion engines and the latter by Parsons turbines. She served for 20 years before being decommissioned in 1932 and scrapped in 1933.
