Line 80:
Line 80: − * Kai: '''High'''+ − : Her firepower and torpedo stats are decent which makes her usable for combat. However, her defensive stats make her a lot more vulnerable than the other heavy cruisers of similar power. Her advantage over those heavy cruisers is the ability to carry seaplane fighters. The latter is important when you need to bring air support to maps where carriers are restricted. This is especially important because the number of aviation cruisers in game is small. She is also fast, which means she isn't affected by speed restrictions either. In addition, she is relatively easier to obtain making her an important aviation cruiser. − * Kai Ni: '''Medium'''+ − : She gains a significant increase to her torpedo and HP which translates into higher damage potential and survivability. Her ability to equip 8cm guns in he reinforcement expansion also increases her flexibility by allowing her to continue to do night battle special attacks while maximising air power. Although her remodel level and cost is high, she is well worth the cost. − * Kai Ni Kou: '''Low'''+ − : Her Kai Ni Kou remodel turns her into a light carrier with great firepower, HP and armour. Her plane count is low and her slots are small but she makes an excellent shelling carrier. She shouldn't be used against heavy anti-air because her slots are at risk of being emptied. Her targeting priority is also different compared to other light carriers. She will prioritise surface ships over submarines when both are present.+ − + − + − + − + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + − + − * Airstrike Support

'''Kumano Kai'''
Priority: '''High'''
:This heavy cruiser can be remodeled into an aviation cruiser (CAV) very early (level 10), which allows her to carry seaplane bombers and, much more importantly, fighters.
:Thus, while she isn't anything worth writing home about when it comes to surface combat, she can play an extremely important role when it comes to gaining air superiority.
====Recommendend Roles====
:Do note that, while aviation cruisers can attack enemy submarines with proper equipment, they are generally a very poor choice for this role.
* Combat
* Air Support
* Shelling Support - Kai Ni Kou
'''Suzuya Kai Ni'''
Priority: '''Medium-High'''
:Her second remodel increases her Torpedo, AA, LOS, HP and Evasion stat, increasing her suitability and night battle potential.
:The ability to equip some guns in her Reinforcement Expansion slot further emphasize her usefulness during night battles.
:However, her base Luck stat is low so she's not a reliable choice for cut-in attacks unless very significant investments are made in order to increase it.
:Keep in mind that this remodel requires a [[Blueprint]].
'''Kumano Kai Kou'''
Priority: '''Medium-Low'''
:Her Kou remodel turns her into a "fast attack" type of light carrier (CVL), and while this is theoretically a convertible remodel keep in mind that going from CAV to CVL requires a further [[Blueprint]] every time, making it a ''de facto'' permanent one.
:As carriers, she and her sister have a small air wing, but fast speed, great survivability for their ship category and the highest firepower available to a light carrier.
:This makes them hit very hard during daytime shelling, while sacrificing some bombing efficiency.
:Unlike other CVLs, she will target surface ships over submarines when both are present.

* Air superiority (second remodel and beyond)
* Shelling support (Kou remodel only)
