Analysis

Yamashiro Kai

Priority: High

Upon remodel, she turns into an aviation battleship (BBV), which is to a standard battleship what a CAV is to a CA, and thus able to embark seaplane bombers and, much more importantly, fighters.

This makes her obviously valuable to contest control of the air: however, her slot distribution makes her poorly suited for bombing.

Just like aviation cruisers, she can attack enemy submarines with proper equipment, but she is generally a very poor choice for this role.

However, she has lower firepower than her "non-aviation" counterparts, and is in fact on the level of heavy cruisers.

Yamashiro Kai Ni

Priority: Medium-Low

This second remodel improves her Firepower significantly, bringing it on par with a Kongou-class' second remodel.

Furthermore, while the number of seaplanes she can't load doesn't increase, her slot distribution is now much better and allows her to fill the seaplane bombing role decently.

Keep in mind that this remodel requires a Blueprint.

Recommended Roles

Surface combat
Air superiority
Limited airstrike (Second remodel)

Important Info

Required for quests A17, A22, A42, A44, B14, B31, and B33.
She is an option for A43 and Bm4.

↑ The Fusou-class were called "defective" because they prioritised offense at the expense of defense but their gun layout made bringing all that firepower to bear difficult.
↑ She was called this because the Fusou-class spent more time in the docks getting remodelled to fix defects than they did operational.
↑ Because "Fusou" sounds like "Fukou", meaning "bad luck/misfortune".
↑ She underwent two modernisations to correct defects in her design.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ She was sunk in a night battle engagement at the Battle of Surigao Strait.
↑ After taking fire from 7 Allied ships, she was set ablaze.
↑ This is in reference to Vice Admiral Nishimura's final orders "我魚雷ヲ受ク各艦ハ前進シテ敵艦隊ヲ攻撃スベシ" which means "We have been hit by torpedoes. Remaining ships, you must continue advancing and attacking the enemy fleet".
