Heavy Cruisers are often, but not ''always'' interchangeable with CAV in maps. Compared to CAV they often have superior base stats, but are unable to carry Seaplane Bombers and Seaplane Fighters. Sometimes they can be used where CAV cannot, and sometimes CAV can be used where CA cannot.

For the most part, they're restricted to performing only as beatsticks - with the exception of Maya, who has formidable anti-air presence. I recommend training Maya and at least one surface combat CA.

The Mogami-class at Kai are much weaker than Tone, but do not require a blueprint to function as a CAV. They all have excellent final remodels that surpass Tone, but those remodels require many limited resources, very high levels, and the equipment they would offer is locked behind quests that require access to late World 6 - so I do '''not''' recommend going for those remodels at this time.

|-
| {{Ship/Banner|Mogami/Kai|small=true}} || Mogami is the best of the Mogami-class Kai CAV - she's extremely available, has a very low remodel level of 10, and the highest plane capacity. There is little reason to not use her as one of your CAV.
|-
| {{Ship/Banner|Mikuma/Kai|small=true}} || Mogami is the second best of the Mogami-class Kai CAV, and she comes with the rare and beloved 20.3cm no3 gun at only Kai - but she's the most difficult to get. She can ''not'' be constructed, and only drops from the boss nodes of some marginally to very inconvenient maps.
|-
| {{Ship/Banner|Suzuya/Kai|small=true}}</br>{{Ship/Banner|Kumano/Kai|small=true}} || They have the same stats as Mogami, but need level 35 for Kai and have a lower aircraft capacity. While not as rare as Mikuma, they're still quite uncommon.

=== Seaplane Tenders ===
Not much to say here - other better AV are still out of reach, so you have to stick with your Chitose/Chiyoda. Having them at A remodel and modernized to max is good enough.
=== Standard Carriers ===
Much more accessible now, and Akagi and Kaga take somewhat of a back seat to the much more useful Kai Ni remodels of the other four.
