==Trivia==
 
*She is named after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuma_River_(Japan) Kuma River].
 
*Her Kai Ni D rig appears to be based loosely on the Kaiten carrier form of ''Kitakami'', which would explain the similar uniform. ''Kuma'' Kai Ni D is able to equip Type-A Kouhyouteki to fire an opening torpedo salvo. She can also equip Daihatsu landing craft, but looses the ability to carry aircraft.
 
*It is possible the "D" in Kai Ni D is a reference to the Type D (Matsu) Destroyers. Such was the case for ''Asashio'' Kai Ni D, who is clearly based off of them. Though this destroyer class did have Type 89 guns and some were converted to Kaiten carriers, their appearance does not match ''Kuma''. Her Kai Ni D form has a different version of the Type 89 gun that looks more akin to what ''Kitakami'' had historically after being converted to a Kaiten carrier. Furthermore, the submarine launch deck as two parallel tracks, like ''Kitakami''. The D-Class kaiten carriers had a single track down the center.
 
*Received her Kai Ni on 1/13/2021

Hidden Fit Bonuses

  • She has accuracy and firepower bonuses when equipped with certain medium guns. Please see Gun Fit Bonuses for mode details.

Analysis

Kuma Kai

Priority: Low

At first remodel, she has good Firepower and Torpedo stat for a light cruiser, meaning she can do Artillery Spotting with decent damage at day and packs a good punch at night, too.
Her ASW stat also allow her to perform OASW attacks with proper setup.

Kuma Kai Ni

Priority: Low-Medium

On her second remodel, she has good Firepower and Torpedo stat for a light cruiser, meaning she can do Artillery Spotting with decent damage at day and packs a good punch at night, too.
Her ASW stat also allow her to perform OASW attacks with proper setup.
The main perk of this form is the ability to equip Seaplane Fighters which can help reach desired air-power levels. Slot sizes are too small to get any real use out of Seaplane Bombers.

Kuma Kai Ni D

Priority: Medium-High

Her third remodel lowers her torpedo stat and a small amount of firepower which takes her back down to average in these areas.
She makes up for these stat losses by gaining the ability to equip mini-subs to launch opening torpedo strikes.
The ability to equip landing craft and tanks also helps her to deal with installation-type enemies.
Her ASW stat is slightly increased, allowing her to perform OASW attacks a bit more easily.

Recommended Roles

  • Surface combat
  • ASW

Historical Info

  • Laid down on 29 August 1918, launched 14th July '19 and commissioned on 31th August '20.
  • Immediately after her working up she was sent to support Japanese forces fighting the Bolshevik Russian forces in Siberia. After a refit in 1934 she supported forces now fighting in China before fulfilling her designed role as the flagship of a submarine force for a year.
  • With Japan's entry into the war she was part of the Philippines covering force, and supported forces for the next few months as the island was slowly captured. She survived attacks from B17s and PT boats unscathed and sank numerous small transports.
  • Following this she carried out transport and patrol runs around the Dutch East Indies and New Guinea before having a refit to improve her AA in Nov '43.
  • She met her end in January of '44 when she was spotted off Penang by HMS Tally-Ho who managed to hit her with two torpedoes causing her to slow and list. Unfortunately for her a deck fire had started and spread to her depth charges, causing a massive explosion which tore the stern off and rapidly sank her. Uranami rescued survivors.
  • Her wreck was discovered in 2004 but like other ships sunk in the area her wreck has been mostly destroyed by illegal salvage.
