Changes

While most Heavy Cruiser Kanmusus work best for surface combat scenarios, Maya is a little more unique as she specializes in AA combat. While she performs decently for her regular and first remodel and is a necessity for various quest to earn from early Anti-Air Directors, her real shining moment is upon reaching her Second Remodel. Because of her high AA and the ability to ultilize 4 equipment slots, she can be utilized to function as a surface combat ship, a Surface / AA Hybrid, or a pure AA Defense Ship.

Since she can be armed with more AA based equipment in comparison to the Akizuki's Class she can also in turn be able to perform a bigger Guaranteed Plane Shutdown (currently to 10, if armed with a Bofors, Radar, HA gun combo) in comparison to the Akizuki-class DDs (which is around 7-8). Due to this factor, Maya is often commonly considered to be useful for AA-cut in support in combined fleet scenarios to help give your fleet the decent edge needed when trying to gain air control over the enemy's air units. Due to this, Maya's commonly considered to be a big help in maps where air control is needed when carriers can't go, or in later stage event maps where her AA-cut ins become a nessesity to gaining superiority over the Enemy Fleet.
