Analysis
Sendai Kai
Priority: Low
- At first remodel, she has decent Firepower and Torpedo stat, for a light cruiser, meaning she can do Artillery Spotting with okay-ish damage at day and pack a decent punch at night, too.
- Her ASW stat also allow her to perform OASW attacks with proper setup.
Sendai Kai Ni
Priority: Low, unless her equipment is needed.
- Her second remodel grants this night battle loving cruiser +9 Firepower and +10 Torpedo, which isn't amazing but makes her able to perform better in surface combat.
- Do note that this remodel comes with a Searchlight, a Star Shell and a Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout), making the importance of remodeling her higher for those admirals who lack said gear.
Recommended Roles
- ASW
- Surface combat (Second remodel)
Important Info
- Required for A14, A68, and B68.
- Required for unlocking the 3rd Fleet.
- Source of Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)
