Nice so the 80s version

I wonder if they’ll give it its missiles. Japan currently does not have any missile-launching ships, whereas most other navies in the game have access to at least one.

The F-35 landed on Kaga!

Yes, she’s not in the dev server yet though, and cannot be spawned in the CDK yet.
Likely bluewater, even though it is the successor class to JDS Ayanami, due to her 3x5-inch guns.
Oddly enough, everything on the leak list has been seen in the dev server, except for JS Yubetsu.

NOTE TO DMM PLAYERS:
Hey guys, if anyone’s linked to DMM, just a reminder that the IJN katakana decals will be going away in ~3 days. Get them while you can, if you can.

I wonder if there was some miscommunication on part of the leakers and they somehow misidentified Murasame as Yubetsu?
I mean, I don’t know how the leakers get their info and I don’t expect to find out, but naval always seems to get less priority in leaks
Unlikely, as physical appearances, hull designations, and numbers are too different, and no similarly-named ships are seen in both classes.
I speculate that both ships (among others) are in concurrent development, and maybe Murasame was surprisingly further along development to be ready for this patch?
Less likely, but perhaps the devs wanted to include Yubetsu’s Harpoons, but due to IRL specs, are atm deprioritizing her addition for now? We’d be going from very lightweight AShMs like the Saetta’s to nearly 10x the warhead weight, with vastly increased range without decent countermeasures. (I expect Yubetsu will be added without her missiles)
Maybe both will come to the game, but only Murasame’s files have been added.
Or maybe something else, I don’t really know.

The patch isn’t out yet.
Every patch they add vehicles first in the dev server update (which dropped today, with just 1 added vehicle: ICV (wheeled IFV for Japan)) and then few more for the main release, that weren’t present on the dev server.
むらさめ now available in the dev server

Murasame has a few bugs:
Unlike with Mitscher, you cannot bind the 3-inch guns to the 5-inch guns, even if you have the setting enabled:
Her stern sits too high, above the waterline:
Armor view shows the turret smaller than the actual 3d model:

It is common practice that if there are no other AA guns, the secondaries are unbound to primaries, similar example is premium geniere. Could you show its stat card and tree placement?
It’s true that Geniere’s primaries and secondaries are decoupled from each other, but USS Wilkinson does not follow this rule.

In Geniere 3inch guns are designated as AA guns, but in Murasame those guns are auxiliary guns so should be player controlled. I did make bug report that they should add player control for 3inch or make them AA guns like in Geniere.

4.3 eh? I wonder if GJN will make a change to that.
I figured Murasasme/Akizuki 1959 class would be JPNs best gun based DDs before we head into the DDG era.
You would think 4.7/5.0 considering Mitscher/Wilkinson. I mean wont be complaining if it stays at 4.3.
They confirmed that it is bug, but didn’t say what way they are going to fix Murasame’s 3inch battery.
I really hope make them player controlled, because Japan really needs ship that can take on enemy destroyers and not just tickle them with HE shells.
What I would do for the secondary 3-inch guns to have APHE
Someone sent a bug report so that the 3-inch guns would get APHE.
Given the inaccuracy of secondary gunners, why don’t all DDs have AP shells for them?
HMAS Nepal, Eskimo, RN Tigre, as well as 76mm- and 85mm-armed Russian DDs have AP shells for their secondaries, but why don’t the Mitscher-class, Geniere, and Murasame have them as well?
Is it because of fire rate?
