I have had a few nasty run ins with a Minekaze Destroyer. I don't like them.

I usually avoid a dual with any destroyer unless I have to fight. I have had a fair success rate hitting them in the nose if I can get lined up nearly perfectly either using the bow tubes or the stern. Problem is if the torpedo hits but is ineffective....panic ensues.
