After playing 40 solo matches in the Harugumo Japanese Tier X destroyer I put together this video of the harugumo world of warships. This harugumo gameplay video includes the harugumo modules and the harugumo captain skills for the harugumo stealth build.
A further development of the Akizuki-class destroyers. This ship features larger dimensions and ten dual-purpose 100 mm guns arranged in five turrets to serve as the ship's primary armament.
Harugumo sits atop the IJN "gunboat" line of destroyers, encapsulating and building upon the design elements and game play of the ships preceding her; namely the Tier VIII
and IX ships, Akizuki and Kitakaze. Harugumo has 10 100mm guns and a single sextuplet torpedo launcher, she is the pinnacle of the ijn gunboat line of world of warships japanese gunboats. Harugumo boasts the highest base hit points and DPM of all Tier X destroyers, while also possessing the worst maneuverability (turning radius) and base detection range (tied with Khabarovsk).
The most notable differences when moving up to Harugumo are the addition of a fifth main battery turret and major performance losses in the areas of handling and concealment.
She also gains a significant amount of health in comparison to that of her immediate predecessors: a whopping 25,600 base health. Captains will also notice the significant loss in mobility especially in regards to turning radius — as well as the far-worse concealment. Despite the major drawbacks found when upgrading to Harugumo, most captains will find that play styles that worked well on the previous destroyers are still applicable, albeit with some modifications.
Learning how to play harugumo effectively is realising first and foremost, Harugumo is not a capture-point contesting destroyer. Her poor concealment, awful turning radius, and huge size make her incredibly easy to hit with torpedoes, and enemy ships far behind a capture point will have no difficulty landing shots on her. Enemy destroyers will see her coming long before she spots them, and a competent enemy destroyer captain can easily avoid being spotted by Harugumo.
Captains should play Harugumo in a similar fashion to that of a light cruiser; stay outside of capture points early on, but stay within effective gun range to support the destroyers on the team who can capture. Engagements of all enemies should be done from within the relative safety of smoke or from behind islands. Open water engagements should be planned and executed a manner that minimizes the number of enemy ships that can engage her in return.
Do to the 1/4 HE penetration of the Japanese 100mm rifle, Harugumo does not require the Inertia Fuse for HE Shells skill to do damage to enemy destroyers. However, captains who do use it gain the ability to penetrate 32mm of armor, a thickness found on most high-tier battleships in many places. This allows Harugumo to engage all ship classes with great effectiveness.

Fans of Akizuki and Kitakaze will have no issues adapting their play styles to Harugumo. In the right hands, Harugumo poses a massive threat to all enemy ship types and can have a significant impact on the outcome of a match.
So concludes my first harugumo review using this stealth build. I intend in the coming dds to build a pure gunboat build and seeing what kind of results i can attain. Till then enjoy the highlights.
