Many blueprint remodels are considered indispensable in difficult circumstances like events. For this reason, here is a list of the benefits of each remodel, and a general idea of their remodeling priorities:

Many blueprint remodels are considered indispensable in difficult circumstances like events. For this reason, here is a list of the benefits of each remodel, and a general idea of their remodeling priorities:

'''[[Tone]]/[[Chikuma]]''': In terms of stats, these two cruisers are highly favored for their dominant stats when the Myoukou and Takao class Kai Ni; however, their utility truly shines in branching, where they offer an extremely appealing alternative to the Mogami class, which is very fragile. Their stock equipment consists of a [[20.3cm(no.3) Twin Gun Mount]], [[Zuiun (634 Air Group)]], and [[Type 21 Air RADAR]] each. While these items are rare, they aren't quite as significant the equipment carried by the Fusou or Unryuu classes. However, each admiral has his/her specific needs, and may require an upgraded Zuiun or cruiser main gun promptly.

Their artwork is also greatly celebrated by the playerbase for obvious reasons.

'''[[Fusou]]/[[Yamashiro]]''': This remodel rectifies the primary issue that confronts aviation battleships: firepower. With Nagato-tier output, slightly enhanced durability, and an incredible ''23'' plane slot, these two have very useful remodels. While not as often needed as CAV for branching, they are valuable during events for this purpose, and offer slow-battleship alternatives for those without the Nagato and Yamato classes. While the plane slots for CAV can't contribute significantly to air superiority or bombing damage, both of these battleships can be used together with a CV or 2 CVL inside a [[Combined Fleet|Surface Task Force]] for dominant air-power during events. Their stock equipment includes a [[Prototype 41cm Triple Cannon]] (Useful on all battleships, though it cannot be improved), [[Zuiun Model 12]] (The highest-air-power seaplane bombers in the game), and [[41cm Twin Gun Mount]] each. Fusou's unique gear is a [[12cm 30-tube Rocket Launcher]], which is nearly useless, while Yamashiro comes with a [[Searchlight]], which again has little use. Their gear should be more useful than that provided by the Tone class, but the CAV's stats probably put them ahead slightly. Their priority, then, is about tied.

*Her stock equipment includes a [[20.3cm(no.2) Twin Gun Mount]] (Easily found elsewhere), [[Skilled Lookouts]] (The only non-event source of this unique item), [Searchlight]], and [[Type 22 Surface RADAR Kai 4]]. The radar is of particular significance.
