− | Priority: | + | '''Yamashiro 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. |

| + | '''Yamashiro Kai Ni''' |
| + | |
| + | Priority: '''Medium-Low''' |
| + | |
| + | :This second remodel improves her Firepower significantly, bringing it on par with a Kongou-class' second remodel. |
| + | :Furthermore, while the number of seaplanes she can't load doesn't increase, her slot distribution is now much better and allows her to fill the seaplane bombing role decently. |
| + | :Keep in mind that this remodel requires a [[Blueprint]]. |

− | * Kai: '''High'''
| |
− | : She is easy to obtain and has a low remodel level which makes her a good aviation battleship for newer players. She functions just fine as a seaplane fighter carrier for taking air superiority in maps where carriers are restricted. However, her low firepower means she underperforms in combat compared to other battleships.
| |
− | * Kai Ni: '''Medium'''
| |
− | : Her Kai Ni gives her a significant boost to her firepower that brings her closer to the other battleships. Though she is still on the low side compared to the other slow battleships. She does gain a huge improvement to her slot distribution since she now has a single large slot that allows her to carry seaplane bombers with a lot less risk that the slot will be emptied. The size of her bottom slot means that she'll also have decent airstrike power against soft targets. She does make a good stopgap aviation battleship until you get [[Ise]] to Kai Ni, which will take a while and cost a lot.
