Low firepower, torpedo, HP and armour.

Kai Ni

Decent firepower, torpedo and armour.
Low HP.

Fit Bonuses

Visible Fit Bonuses Template:GunfitHeader Template:Gunfit Template:Gunfit |}

Hidden Fit Bonuses

She gains bonus evasion and accuracy at night when equipped with 20.3cm variants. Please see Gun Fit Bonuses for mode details.

Analysis

Priority:Low

Kai

She has abysmal firepower and torpedo which makes her bad in night battles. While she is easy to obtain, there are other heavy cruisers of similar rarity that are better than she is.

Kai Ni

She gets a boost to her firepower and torpedo that brings her in line with the average heavy cruiser. This makes her effective in night battle although still not the best. Her fit bonus means she can perform as well as better heavy cruisers provided you give her two 20.3cm(no.2) Twin Gun Mount. She is relatively difficult to obtain but her low remodel level means she can reach an acceptable power level not long after you get her.
