Akizuki

Akizsuki is the lead ship of her class destroyer, a class of Japanese destroyers with a greater focus on anti-air capabilities sacrificing a strong torpedo armament. Compared to other Japanese destroyers her max torpedo rating is a little weaker but once upgraded and modified she has a strong air defense that can extend to adjacent units in the fleet and a greater crit chance with her torpedoes. Akizuki's currently the only source of 3rd Year Type E1 high angle guns, a destroyer gun that can extend the range of a destroyer from short to medium without the the negative side effects of the Soviet 305mm Recoilless Cannon.
