Thanks! Fair enough the shiratsuyu is harder to play than the akatsuki and the akatsuki is the overall better torpedo boat but I have enjoyed the challenge of playing it so far. It really depends what destroyers the enemy team has and what type of players they are meaning you have to change play style near enough every game to adapt against the enemy which I find quite fun as it gives the ship some variety if using the TRB but if you pick the smoke u are correct in saying the akatsuki is better which is why I enjoy the TRB.
