When at the helm of an Akizuki-class destroyer, your strength - especially when pitted against other destroyers - will be the sheer number of cannons you can employ against your opponents. Try to fight them at a distance to reduce the effectiveness of your opponents' torpedo attacks.

In Island Capture, the Akizuki-class is generally avoided due to its apparent lack of power, particularly against the more common heavy cruisers and battleships. The usual counter to enemy aircraft are fighters, which are far faster and more mobile than ships. In other game modes, particularly Duel, the Akizuki is more viable.


The Akizuki is an unlockable unit, and can be unlocked by completing '''[[Battlestations: Pacific/Saving the Shōhō|Mission 4 - Saving the ''Shōhō'']]''' with a silver medal.
