Analysis

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.
Do note that, while aviation cruisers can attack enemy submarines with proper equipment, they are generally a very poor choice for this role.


Kumano 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 Kou Kai Ni

Priority: Medium-Low

This 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.

Recommended Roles

  • Surface combat
  • Night battle (second remodel only)
  • Air superiority (second remodel and beyond)
  • Shelling support (carrier version only)

Not Recommended Roles

  • ASW

Important Info

  • Required for A76 and B101.
