However, a massive torpedo arsenal isn’t the only thing which sets Shimakaze apart from other destroyers - her superb mobility also plays a part in this. But be aware - Shimakaze doesn’t carry any additional spare torpedoes, meaning captains will only have a single salvo at their disposal throughout an engagement!

Having access to 3 quintuple (yes, you read that correctly - that’s 15 torpedo tubes) 610 mm torpedo launchers, launching the infamous Type 93 ‘Long Lance’ torpedo, one could easily make the claim that Shimakaze’s primary armament aren’t her deck guns, but her torpedoes! As a result, Shimakaze will be a true force to be reckoned with, particularly in Enduring Confrontation battles where her fast, long range torpedoes will truly show their full potential. Shimakaze sports the largest and deadliest torpedo armament of any destroyer currently in War Thunder and among the largest torpedo armaments of any WWII-era destroyer historically speaking. Going below surface level however, it’s a much different story. Shimakaze was severely damaged during the battle, only to explode and sink several hours later.
In November, Shimakaze was assigned to escort a troop convoy from Manila to Ormoc, later being attacked by American aircraft in the Battle of Ormoc Bay. In October 1944, Shimakaze formally took part in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, although she didn’t see any action as the ship was loaded with survivors picked up from the sunken Musashi and Maya. Subsequently, Shimakaze was once again ordered to Kure to undergo another refit, in which her anti-air armament was increased. Shimakaze’s early service career was marked by taking part in the evacuation of Japanese troops from the Aleutian Islands in July and August as well as escort duties until the end of the year and into early 1944.Īfter undergoing brief refitting in March 1944, Shimakaze escorted battleship Musashi and heavy cruiser Maya from Kure to Manila. Laid down in August 1941, Shimakaze was completed in May 1943, being assigned to the IJN 1st Fleet upon her commissioning. Shimakaze’s basic design was based on that of the Kagerō destroyer, with Shimakaze incorporating a new high-performance turbine and three quintuple 61cm torpedo launchers as well as having slightly larger dimensions and displacement as a result. The game entered early access on 6th June 2019 and is currently 20 per cent off due to a weekend deal.Shimakaze was ordered in 1939 as a prototype vessel of the future Type C destroyers, of which 16 were planned for construction.
