Analysis

Choukai Kai

Priority: Low

At first remodel, she has decent Firepower and a mediocre Torpedo stat, making her suited for daytime surface combat thanks to Artillery Spotting but not so much for night battle.

Choukai Kai Ni

Priority: Medium-High

Her second remodel increases her Firepower and Torpedo stat, meaning she hits harder than before at day and reaches an excellent night battle potential, the best of every heavy cruiser in game.

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.

Recommended Roles

• Surface combat

Important Info

• Required for A20, A21, A24, A50, B11, B13, B16, B41, and B122.
• She is an option for Bq7.

• Probably the deepest-known wreck, due to the fact she was sunk directly above the Philippine Trench, and probably lies in about 26,000 feet of water, well beyond the reach of manned submersibles.
• Named after Mt. Choukai.
• She appeared in the first Kancolle Drama CD, also dubbed One Nao show, along with other characters in a mini skit.
