(Please don't chance that!) If you want fast/speedier Torpedo boats Germany with their MG's or USSR early on are very fun. But I do like all 3 of their smaller boats - all have some powerful guns, easy to aim, unlike Italy, but Italy at Rank III is pretty sweet so far and not expensive for Destroyers. Have't got up to Destroyers with USSR USA or Germany yet.

Where like with Japan you need to get the first 4 or maybe 5 Destroyers in order to get the first Light Cruiser. I just kept grinding them, since you only need to get 3 Rank III Destroyers (which I do like all 3 of theirs), to get the first Light Cruiser. The new Italian Rank I-II - I don't like at all, untill you get to Rank III. I held off and blew up a pack of 6-7 torpedo and sub chasers ships with one of the Soukou-Tei's all alone. (That's a pretty fun thing to pull off) Also early on Japan the Soukou-Tei's and Type 5 are super powerful, with 37, 57 75mm cannons also very heavy armor. They have 2 small nimble hydro planes that can cap points early on. (especially if you like their planes) Japan is pretty good, but I'd choose that only if you like flying their planes also, since planes are also involved.
