What IJN asset do you dread the most?

I guess, for me, it would be the Akizukis. They always seem to be manned by experienced crewmen and their sound detection seems to be higher grade than the others. The only thing about those pesky aux subchasers is, those little buggers are exceptionally hard to sink, with DG or torps.

Probably the Matsu, late war with an elite crew, 4 K guns, 2 Y guns and double roll offs. Hope you're in deep water.

Totally agree, any of the Type A-C boats that have the 6 Y guns, seems every convoy late war in Formosa has 4-6 of these as escorts. Having just two of these pounce on you and the charges sound like machine guns going off. They carry 120 charges, where they put em on that small boat....

Dont think I have actually dealt with the Matsu, then again I havent used RSRD a lot(but will continue to with some modification of course) so sure I will encounter it.

I still don't see it alot, maybe a few times per career, seems more late war.

I have TMO's Akikazi DD setup to show up as a regular escort in my install and that thing is a nightmare! It seems to detect me alot further away than the other DDs and its loaded with so many DCs that when it drops a pattern you had better be well out of the area. The Type A/B is a close second, but the Akikazi owns the seas.
