Analysis

Zara Kai

Priority: High

At first remodel, this Italian heavy cruiser has good Firepower but a very low Torpedo stat, making her suited for daytime surface combat thanks to Artillery Spotting but not so much for night battle.

What makes her incredibly valuable is the unique ability to carry seaplane fighters and bombers without being classified as an aviation cruiser, making her able to contest air control where other ships just aren't allowed to go.

Keep in mind that she has inherently long range when shelling order is an issue.

Zara Due

Priority: Medium-High

Her second remodel gives her the best Firepower and Armor stat of all heavy cruisers, meaning she hits even harder than before at day and can take a beating, although her night battle output is still low.

Keep in mind that this remodel requires a Blueprint.

Recommended Roles

Air superiority
Surface combat

Not Recommended Roles

Night battle

Important Info

She comes with the Ro.44 Seaplane Fighter at Due.
