*The Hatsuharu class were originally intended to number a dozen, but Hatsuharu was found to be top-heavy.  Nenohi and Hatsuharu were completed and then modified to fix the issue, Wakaba and Hatsushimo were modified during construction (thus their different uniforms).  (Ariake and Yugure, the last two, had barely been begun, and so were constructed differently).  The remaining planned six ships became the first six ships of the Shiratsuyu class.

* Her outstanding AA stat at Kai Ni reflects to her historical upgrade after she had been struck from a US dive bomber off of Kiska on 17 October, 1942. [[Oboro]], who accompanied her sank during the attack. After limping back to Paramushiro on her own steam, she was docked at Maizuru Naval Arsenal for repairs. During this time, she was outfitted with numerous [[25mm Twin Autocannon Mount|Type-96 25mm AA guns]] and a [[Type 22 Surface RADAR]]. In this game, she is instead outfitted with a [[25mm Triple Autocannon Mount]] and a [[Type 13 AIR RADAR Kai]] to represent her great AA capabilities.
