I have hid the images in a spoiler tag because its easier on the mobile phone

 

oh and I have only put up to tier 2 skills on this because I am not sure I want to be sailing a Kamikaze with a to be Minekaze/Shimakaze captain(basically I am intending on using it for all my ships past Minekaze with the torpedo boost skill

Guns are OP.

Git gud nub!

 

[1nc0mp3t3nt_1]

No. I will continue torping for devastating strikes thank you very much

[_Sarcasticat_]

I love the Kamikaze R. The Fujin. The Kamikaze. Minekaze...

 

Japanese tier 5 DDs in general. 

[1nc0mp3t3nt_1]

Yeah, the Kamikaze is the best free premium ever, sorry Arkansas Beta

Did your crew leave the gun ammo in port by accident?

No, I just didn't really have anyone worth shooting my guns at. I was aiming for a Kraken with 5 devastating strikes but I got a bit too eager at the end and sailed out of smoke before my torps were done reloading

A good Fujin never fires her guns. Same applies to Kamikaze and Minekaze.

I feel your pain, brother. Did you get my in-game message?

Never? Surely it is worth returning fire when a Soviet or American DD has selected you as their victim of choice.

I sink most USN and Ivans with torpedoes, not guns. If I use my guns, I consider it a failure.

Haven't logged in. Just woke up, so I'll be on after a quick bite to eat

 

sadly in matches like that one, I end up stealing the HP from everyone rather than getting the kills, which leaves me in an awkward position when it goes pear shaped.lol

The Kamikaze guns are poorly positioned, where you have to be at a torpedo launching position to fire 3 of the 4 off, otherwise most of the time even with angled bow on, you  can only fire gun 1.

 

The guns have a 9 second reload as well, so it's really only worth it if your in a spot of trouble, say between torpedo launches if a destroyer engages you. 

 

Oh and there is  no firing the guns from stealth in the minekaze  unless you sit in smoke, which I only use in absolute emergencies. A lot of games I will not end up using smoke, because stealth launched torpedos are the better option always

^^ This.

Firing your guns in an IJN DD, is simply shouting to everyone...."Here I am"....

[Takeda992]

Saying you shouldn't shoot the guns at all means you will never get the most out of your ship. They are good enough to finish the job if your torps or other teammates didn't. They are great when you are shooting at a BB that is too busy to shoot back at you. They are decent enough to fight other IJN DDs, and at high tiers, they can even stealth fire.

the thing is, every ship I launched torps at, I killed them

[creamgravy]

I'm averaging 2 Kamikaze/Fujin/Minekaze kills per game, with guns, in my Kamikaze R.  Most of them don't shoot back, like taking candy from a baby.  Then it's off to seal club those BBs.

matches like the one I posted pretty much never happen with me. It usually ends up me firing torps at 6.3Km, getting revealed as I am turning away again, missing the entire torp salvo, having to gunfight other DDs coming to try and prey on me, and then going out and doing a torp launch from 6.4Km, and not gettign spotted, but missing anyway because my gunfight somehow indicated to the battleships that despite me not being spotted, I am in the area
