How To Play Japanese Destroyer Shimakaze In World Of Warships
303A long but hopefully informative and good video on Shimakaze. As a T10 DD, I think she is in a really good spot now with the recent turret traverse buff and torpedo detection buff. I always felt she was a strong ship and now I feel she is REALLY strong.
I fully understand that people struggle with Shimakaze and hopefully this video will shed some light on tips to maximize playing with her. At the end of it all, there are a few take aways:
1.) Her guns don't suck, none of the IJN DD guns past T6 have sucked
2.) She has 1.7km detection range on her 12km torpedoes... yes that's further than Gearing, yes Gearing has longer range, but Gearing has 10 torps to Shima's 15 and Shima has those 15 in three quintuple launchers which is significantly more useful than two quintuple launchers.
3.) Shima requires a higher skill level to play, but Akatsuki plays similar at T7 where things are cheaper, so use Akatsuki to practice for Shima!
Overall, This is my favorite T10 DD and second favorite DD overall in game. She is silly amounts of fun and when played to her fullest, 100% troll. Can't argue with that fun!
