The following list is what I think are good ideas to implement in KC in order to improve the game, while keeping its basic aesthetic, and keeping in mind that it is still a free-to-play game that needs to make money. I absolutely do not want to transform this game into a generic and forgettable Gacha, I just want to imagine how an up-to-date Kancolle can be, with many features that I believe are missing in this 8+ years old game. I also consider that no 3rd party software should be used because if the game is "good enough" or even "perfect", it simply does not need such things (even so I will still use them myself).

**"Special/greater/rarer" equipments should be "limited" (not including events/ranking) and harder to obtain, to avoid power creep, as it is already done for some, and still giving a good reason to rank and play in harder modes.
***It is better to have an equipment behind a "Nonaka price" rather than not obtainable at all for no reason.

|-|Equipement Types=
New equipement classification. Many different types of equipments share a same icon, where it would be more logical and convenient to add some distinctions :
*Separating "high angle guns" depending on if they are DD main, CL main, secondary, or large secondary,
*Separating CL & CA guns,
*Separating turret / submarine / midget-sub torpedoes,
**Reclassing the [[53cm Hull-mount (Oxygen) Torpedoes]] as sub torp,
*Separating dive bombers and fighter bombers, and make USN fighter bombers real ones,
*Combining jets (no need for 2 unique icons),
*Making the night fighter & night attacker icons more distinguishable, and add the the night bomber icon,
*Separating seaplane recons and bombers,
*Separating "AA rocket lauchers" from "AA guns",
*Separating depth-charges racks / depth-charges projectors / ASW mortars,
*Separating DLC / landing Tanks / Armed boats, and making the family/type behaviors more logical & standard,
**Reclassing the [[M4A1 DD]] as an Amphibious Tank and not a landing DLC,
*Redestributing LBAS planes, for bombers, escort-fighter, interceptors, high-altitude interceptors, LBAS recons, ASW bombers, Jets.
**Putting the {{EquipmentLink|Me 163B|Prototype Shuusui|Shuusui|text=Rocket interceptors}} as a proper category,
**Combining land-based bombers/assault/Hayabusa bomber.
Adding a "dual-purpose" nuance could also help for :
*High-angle guns,
*AA / Surface radar,
*Fighter bombers,
*Bomber / ASW plane,
*Small/large/very large equipments (main guns, secondaries, searchlights, radars, sonars, recons, armors…).
