Overview
Longjiang is a Tier II Pan-Asian torpedo destroyer reaching 8.4 km. The torpedoes travel at 49 kt, so target reaction time is shorter than peer DDs; this is a torpedo-spam kit, not a gun trade kit. Standout traits: best top speed in T2 DDs (36 kt).
Positioning
Sit at the edge of a contested cap from concealment and cycle torpedo waves into lanes the enemy has to use - 8.4 km reach at 49 kt means the wall arrives before targets can react. Drop on probable lanes from cover, stay unspotted between waves, and let the wall do the work.
Potato Avoidance
Holding 8.4-km torpedoes for a perfect shot
The kit pays out by saturating lanes, not by waiting for guaranteed broadsides; missed waves still force rotations and protect your team's flank. Idle torpedo tubes are the worst output state. A second mistake to avoid: these torpedoes ignore the Destroyer class - they pass under DDs and cannot hit them. Aim torpedo drops ONLY at battleships, carriers, and most cruisers; every torp fired at a DD is wasted output.
Signature Traits
Torps IGNORE the Destroyer class (deep-water mechanic); they pass under DDs and cannot hit them. Aim ONLY at battleships, carriers, and most cruisers; every torp fired at a DD is wasted, shared by 2/24 T2 DDs.
+8% speed, 120 s duration. Engine Boost consumable temporarily raises top speed. Mobility on demand to reposition, chase a kill, or break contact.
115000 AP DPM, best of T2 DDs. Punishes broadsides.
8.4 km torpedo range, best of T2 DDs.
36.0 kt, best of T2 DDs. Lets you rotate flanks or escape disengagements.
7.74 km main battery reach, bottom decile of T2 DDs. Outranged by peers; close distance or lean on terrain.

Hull HP 7,700, distributed across 5 hull zones, each with its own plate thicknesses, saturation cap, and pen thresholds. HP caps are the exact in-game values, not estimated.
Overmatched by 104+ guns across the bracket. Can’t reliably bow-tank; gets bow-citadelled and overpenned.

| Bow | 6 mm primary (range 6–9 mm) | 1,100 (14% of HP) | Overmatched by 127mm+ (Farragut, Shenyang)6 mm: HE pens from 127mm+ | Bow-tank fits behind this exterior plate. Saturation is FAST here; the cap is often only a few thousand HP. |
| Stern | 6 mm primary (range 6–9 mm) | 700 (9% of HP) | Overmatched by 127mm+ (Farragut, Shenyang)6 mm: HE pens from 127mm+ | Mirror of bow. Same fast saturation. |
| Citadel | 9 mm primary (range 6–9 mm) | ≈ 165,500 (effectively no cap) | Citadel pen ×0.50 damageOver-pen: ×0.10 damage | Effectively no cap; citadel pool sits at ~165k HP on every ship. Damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead (×0.50 direct pen, ×0.10 over-pen). |
| Superstructure | 6 mm primary (range 6–9 mm) | 600 (8% of HP) | Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage | Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage. HE-spam target, and the section saturates fast (often only a few thousand HP). |
| Turret (module, per magazine) | separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP | 3,900 magazine HP | Magazine detonation1–30% chance · below ~75% HP | Per-turret powder-magazine HP. Detonation chance scales from 1% (no mag damage) to 30% (full mag damage); this range is the in-game value. Detonation can't roll while the ship is above ~75% HP (the standard detonation-protection threshold, not a per-ship stat). Smaller magazines saturate to the 30% ceiling faster. |
| Rudder (module) | separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP | 2,300 module HP | Incapacitated at 0 HP | When module HP reaches 0 the rudder locks at its current angle until DCP repairs it. Repair via Damage Control Party. |
Saturation cap = HP a section can absorb before further damage to it is reduced (the "bow-tank" effect). Citadel pool is ~165k on every ship (effectively no cap); damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead. Superstructure saturates fast but HE always pens regardless of the plate thickness. Rudder (and other module HPs) are a separate pool from ship HP: damaging a module doesn't drain ship HP. Incapacitated modules like the rudder and engine are restored by DCP, but secondary and AA mounts destroyed at 0 HP stay out for the rest of the battle.
