In-Game Tips

Harukaze as well as most members of the Kamikaze class are very old destroyers, and their poor stats reflect their outdated status. Due to this, they are very poor in most combat situations and all of them require extensive training to reach their remodel levels. However, even when upgraded, most of their stats are still below average compared to most remodelled destroyers. Their only decent stat is their relatively high luck. Keep in mind, however, that due to their low stats, the damage they perform with torpedo cut-ins will still be be relatively low compared to other destroyers.

In addition, all of the Kamikaze-class Destroyers have very low fuel and ammo consumption, making them all ideal for use in expeditions, since they will help conserve ammo and fuel loss while completing expeditions.

Harukaze Kai's ASW stats allow her to perform pre-emptive ASW against enemy submarines once she reaches level 99, with a pair of Type 3 Sonars and a Type 3 Depth Charge.

Trivia

• After being incapacitated in an air attack and lacking resources to repair her, she was towed to Hyōgo Prefecture on the Sea of Japan, 1947 and finally scuttled to form part of the breakwater at Takeno Port.
• Her hulk was damaged by a typhoon just some months after it was put in place as breakwater and was subsequently broken up. [1]
• In October 1944 Harukaze led what was to be known as the "Tragedy of the MaTa30 Convoy". MaTa30 Convoy 「マタ３０船団」was a convoy of transport ships escorted from Manila, Phillipines to Takao (now known as Kaohsiung), Taiwan. America had just begun their campaign in the Philippines and to escape from the air raids, a total of 12 transport ships containing various things from supplies, POW's and civilians was ordered to head towards Takao. The convoy was also known as the "Harukaze convoy" due to Harukaze being the flagship of the operation. However, the convoy was ambushed by US submarines which led to the sinking of 9 out of the 12 transport ships including the ship Arisan Maru carrying about 1800 POWs. After the war Japan was prosecuted for leaving most of the POWs to die.
• Harukaze is believed to have been the cause of USS Shark's (SS-314) sinking and disappearance since it became missing after October 24, 1944. After the war records from Japan stated that Shark had been sunk by Harukaze, this was not written in the book created by the ex-crew members of Harukaze as the shock of the tragedy of the MaTa30 Convoy was probably too big.
• During her introduction in the Spring 2016 event Harukaze was subject to a bug that gradually increased her firepower, torpedo, AA and armor stat maximums as she leveled allowing her, at high level, to outclass other destroyers until hotfixed on 5/13/2016.

Trivia

From her initial release, Harukaze had a bug that caused her stats to increase higher than originally intended, this bug was however fixed on May 13th, 2016.
