Line 221: − + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + − * Kai: '''High''' − : She has low firepower and defensive stats for a battleship which makes her a poor choice for combat. Her low remodel level is a plus but it is tempered by her rarity. Her main use will be carrying seaplane fighters to contest air superiority in maps where carriers are restricted. While her AACI has a decent fixed shootdown and multiplier, it requires sacrificing too many equipment slots to be worthwile. The main reason why she is high priority is that she is required to upgrade the [[12cm 30-tube Rocket Launcher]] to [[12cm 30 Tube Rocket Launcher Kai 2]] with [[Akashi]]. − * Kai Ni: '''Medium''' − : Her Kai Ni brings incredible flexibility with 5 slots and the ability to equip carrier fighters. She outperforms every other aviation ship when it comes to air support in maps where carriers are restricted. Do note that carrier-based recons and dive bombers are unable to trigger artillery spotting. Unfortunately, she doesn't get a significant upgrade combat-wise which leaves her lacking compared to other battleships. Her remodel also comes at a very steep cost since it requires Prototype Catapults. − + − + − + − ====Not Recommended Roles====+ − − * Support Expeditions −

Priority:
'''Ise Kai'''
Priority: '''High'''
:Upon remodel, she turns into an aviation battleship (BBV), which is to a standard battleship what a CAV is to a CA, and thus able to embark seaplane bombers and, much more importantly, fighters.
:This makes her obviously valuable to contest control of the air: however, her slot distribution makes her poorly suited for bombing.
:Just like aviation cruisers, she can attack enemy submarines with proper equipment, but she is generally a very poor choice for this role.
:However, she has lower firepower than her "non-aviation" counterparts, and is in fact on the level of heavy cruisers.
:This is a very early, cheap remodel that becomes more important as soon as [[Akashi]] is added to the fleet if one wants to develop [[12cm 30 Tube Rocket Launcher Kai 2]].
'''Ise Kai Ni'''
Priority: '''Very High''' if you do not have her sister's second remodel, otherwise '''High'''.
:This second remodel isn't good. It's ''very'' good.
:First, she is the only battleship in game besides [[Musashi]]'s second remodel to have five equipment slots, and you don't mind me to tell you good that is, right?
:Second, she can trigger ''full immunity to airstrike damage'' with a very high chance by equipping the aforementioned rocket launcher, which is also pretty ridiculous.
:Third, she goes beyond seaplane and can now load fixed-wing fighters and dive bombers, essentially giving you a full carrier-battleship hybrid with incredible flexibility.
:Oh, and her plane slots are great, even better than her sister's.
:The age of aviation is truly here.
:However, her Firepower is still below standard battleships, and keep in mind that this remodel requires 2 [[Blueprint]] and a catapult.
