Shimakaze, like any other low-luck DD, performs best with two main guns (usually 10cm High-Angle Guns) and a piece of utility equipment like a Radar or Sonar (NOT a Torpedo). This setup is equally effective on 3-2 and normal levelling maps, and should be standard unless you're using her as an anti-submarine ship, in which case of course you want to give her two radars and a depth charge.

Note that she'll never be particularly strong during day battles, she's a Destroyer, that's just not what she does.
