Shigure

• Tier 8 Shigure is a min-maxed version of the IJN torp DDs. Absolute best concealment in the game with TRB for torpedo spam at unfortunate targets. However she is near hopeless in a DD gunfight due to her low gun DPM and slow speed.
  • Irl Shigure was considered a lucky DD until sunk in early 1945.
• Shigure uses the same build as other IJN torp DDs
  • You can trade RPF for SiS if you are confident in predicting DD movements
  • Trade Fill the Tubes for SI if you want more survivability
  • Unlike other IJN DDs, a gun build is not viable as her base gun DPM is too low to fight other stealthy DDs even with heavy investment
  • Suzuki captain is recommended due to his improved SE skill.
  • If you don’t have the Engine boost mod, use ERP.
• Shigure plays very similarly to other torp IJN DDs like Shimakaze. Providing spotting and torping large targets. Shigure’s guns are awful, so most of the time you spot the enemy DD and hope he takes a torp or runs away. Spotting pressure and the occasional torp dev strike are your main tools for victory.
  • Exhaust smoke can be used at full speed, no need to slow down like other DDs. This can occasionally allow gunning something else is spotting the enemy
  • Be wary of radar DDs and Cossack in particular. They can negate your spotting advantage. Cossack’s hydro also counters your torp spam.
