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

Furutaka Kai

Priority: Low

At first remodel, she has mediocre Firepower and a bad Torpedo stat, making her decent for daytime surface combat thanks to Artillery Spotting but poorly suited for night battle.

On the other side, she consumes less fuel and ammo than most heavy cruisers.

Furutaka Kai Ni

Priority: Low

Her second remodel increases her Firepower and Torpedo stat, meaning she hits harder than before at day and is actually useful at night, too.

Leveraging her fit bonus by outfitting her with 20.3cm(no.2) Twin Gun Mount further increases her capabilities, making her a fairly cost-effective ship.

Recommended Roles

Surface combat
