World of Warships Blitz - Japanese destroyer "Hayate" review 

One note here regarding the Legendary Commander that you get with the Hayate. He's a great compliment on the Asashio and Yudachi. His skills mesh well with both of those boats. As always thanks for the videos.

What the Vermont did to you the Kansas, the New Mexico, and the Colorado do that to me when I'm playing as a destroyer. Sometimes they sink me that type of salvo.

The combination of gunboat and torpedo boat.Impressive.

From far my favorite ship! Almost always over 100k damage, thanks to legendary commander adding one torp reload + one ... Euh.. one smoke or something :)

Good review as always Terry..

Hello. New Member of rats. Shimakaze is Shimakaze. I sometimes not understand why them produce the this premium shit. Thanks for the rewiev.

Thanks Terry 😊

Thanks to point things out that this ship is not for me but the elite captain that goes with this ship i like it alot

As a halfway decent gunboat DD player, this ship looks a bit awkward to me. Compared to the Shima, the gunpower is better, but not enough to allow it to take on the bad boys like Z52, Grozovoi and Khabarovsk. So you cannot gunboat much, and Shimas guns are quite satisfactory for limited tasks, like setting BBs on fire. The fundamental problem is that there are 1) people who like Shima, just yolo BBs and be happy, or 2) people who, like me, want to assassinate the category 1) people and thereafter shoot at everything that moves and occasionally throw in your torps. Hayate fits only category 1) well. It is not a proper gunboat. So you could just as well pick a Shima and save a lot of money... Maybe I am a bit harsh here, since DD fights rarely happen with both ships at full health. In practice, Hayate might do quite well, especially since the average player will be above average in skill. But I would much rather play a gun-focused hybrid (Z52, Grozovoi) or a pure gunboat (Khaba) than a torpedo-focused hybrid.

Nice review. But not, this ship can be too expensive. And make a lot of money in a ship who can be deleted fast in a cv battle, no thanks I have the Smolensk for that. 😂 The more interesting point, it's the new legendary commander. Can be great on all the Japan DD (for additional smoke and engine booster) with or without torpedoes booster.

What you said about shoot with hayate make it torp doesn't work I don't agree. In tier X game there are only a few moments when you can use torp effectively, you just need to stay stealth when those moments come not the whole match. Play it like a Z46 with better torpedoes, not like a Shima with better guns. Anyone who have play both Shima and Z46 will know what to expect from this ship.

The whole concept behind this ship is irrational. Is the shimi has 3x5-trops standard, then the bay ate in point of fact exchanging 1/3 of the shimi’s torps [except for that 1 time only reload] for a very modest improvement in guns [who no one in their right mind will count on] and some more irrelevant AA damage. While sacrificing a DD’s lifeblood, speed and maneuverability. Clearly this is a case of tech-tree beats premium. And by considerable amounts. I am one torp does 5k damages. It’s gonna take a lot of fun shot and fires to equal just one extra torp hit.

This is not a gunboat DD. Its a ship to torp first and then set fires, I think. You need to torp from stealth and then pop out and set fires. Also, sometimes German DD players get a sense of invincibility when they face Japanese boats. They are good for torping and even gunning down in the Japanese boats. You should play Shimakaze someday. You aren’t shy to fire guns so that would be interesting.

Pfft sail backwards. I’ve sailed backwards in the ‘burgs lol. When you need to go bow in towards a BB and your bow only has 1/3 of your guns you go booty first… lol it’s not practical at all. Although I do love the Konigs and Nuremberg. Not gonna lie pretty sure I got blapped out of existence when I tried it. I didn’t know what kiting was yet I just started the game. Yes I honestly thought kiting was sailing in reverse towards the enemy when I was a nOOb. Damn FNG’s I love DD’s and BB’s which makes for a good combo, I work well fighting DDs in my BB and vica versa. This DD doesn’t look fun for me. I like hard hitting fast guns. Or TBD hybrids like the US line. Only Torp DD I like are the Euros.

Hey terry I know that you don’t like CV’s that much and honestly neither do I. They just aren’t that fun and engaging to me. Though I was curious if you were going to do any more reviews on the American, Japanese, and the soon to come British carriers? I just like when you give history lessons on the ships “Especially carriers”, since most of them existed and have interesting histories behind them. You always explain things very good and clearly and your videos are always a joy to watch.

I am a beginner ...playing for 7 days ....i found battleship is best suit for me .......my doubt is which line to go for Yamato , Montana or GK ......i need a specific answer

Still want it.

And Yudachi!!

10 hours have passed since the video got uploaded and that Minnesota is still alive

T10 became pretty p2w This boat got great skills and stuff but its gamble … if buy a dd then take friesland you get more fun in team Hope terry goes for kitakaze/harugumo soon Torps are so bugged now i played fushun earlier and got torp kill on a dd and didnt hit enemy bb just passed through and he was in cap not afk

torpedo loading was 2 then they changed it, it was 1, it's so silly I'm one of the idiots who paid for it!!!

Not my type of destroyer. Especially with a gamble-or-pay 54000 gold scheme. No thanks. I put my choice on the Somers if I want a premium tX DD instead. I am always extremely satisified with my Halland.

Copy of Roon CA guns setup.. Yuck. Hard pass Good video
