− | Priority: '''Medium''' | + | '''Asashio Kai''' |
− | : She is just an average destroyer at Kai that doesn't have anything to set her apart from the rest. She gains significant boosts to her firepower and torpedo stats that put her among the top combat destoryers. | + | |
− | : Her Kai Ni D remodel has worse combat stats than her Kai Ni but gains two important things that set it apart. Firstly, she gains a significant boost to her ASW stat that allow her to hit OASW very easily. She is one of the few destroyers capable of using single slot OASW before marriage. Secondly, she gains the ability to equip both Daihatsu and Ka-Mi tanks. This makes her a good candidate for anti-installation work. It also means she can help maximise expedition gains and be used at transport maps. As a bonus, she also gains minor buffs to her survivability. | + | Priority: '''Low''' |
| + | |
| + | :At first remodel, she has low firepower and a decent torpedo stat, making her hitting harder in night battle than at day, but not great at either. |
| + | :While not impressive in combat, do keep in mind than many maps require you to bring at least a few destroyers for routing. |
| + | :Furthermore, destroyers are cheap to deploy and can equip [[Drum Canister]], making them suited for expeditions. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | '''Asashio Kai Ni''' |
| + | |
| + | Priority: '''High''' |
| + | :Her second remodel increases her Firepower and Torpedo stat to very high levels for a destroyers, making her a destroyer very well suited for surface combat. |
| + | :However, she can be remodeled further to fill a different niche in the fleet, which should be preferable for admirals not short of anti-surface destroyers, so giving up this version to obtain the D one is a real possibility. |
| + | :Another option, for those willing to do so, is to raise a second Asashio as she doesn't need a [[Blueprint]] or [[Action Report]] to be remodeled. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | '''Asashio Kai Ni D''' |
| + | |
| + | Priority: '''Very High''' |
| + | :A further remodel decreases her anti-surface capabilities by reducing her Firepower and Torpedo stat a bit, trading those off for the best ASW stat of all IJN destroyers currently in game and immediately perform OASW, plus the ability to load [[Daihatsu]] and tanks, allowing her to increase expedition income or be deployed against enemy installations. |
| + | :This versatility is highly valuable, particularly early on. |
