'''Hidden Fit Bonuses'''
 +
* She has accuracy bonuses and penalties when equipped with certain large guns. Please see [[Gun Fit Bonuses]] for mode details.
 +
 +
===Analysis===
 +
Priority:
 +
 +
* Kai: '''High'''
 +
: She has low firepower and defensive stats for a battleship which makes her a poor choice for combat. Her low remodel level is a plus but it is tempered by her rarity. Her main use will be carrying seaplane fighters to contest air superiority in maps where carriers are restricted. While her AACI has a decent fixed shootdown and multiplier, it requires sacrificing too many equipment slots to be worthwile. The main reason why she is high priority is that she is required to upgrade the [[12cm 30-tube Rocket Launcher]] to [[12cm 30 Tube Rocket Launcher Kai 2]] with [[Akashi]].
 +
* Kai Ni: '''Low'''
 +
: Her Kai Ni brings incredible flexibility with 5 slots and the ability to equip carrier fighters. She isn't as good as [[Ise]] when it comes to providing air support due to her slot distribution, but she is still better than every other aviation ship in this respect. Do note that carrier-based recons and dive bombers are unable to trigger artillery spotting. Unfortunately, she doesn't get a significant upgrade combat-wise which leaves her lacking compared to other battleships. While she is able to perform OASW, she is unable to take advantage of ASW synergy bonuses which limits her damage potential. Her remodel also comes at a very steep cost since it requires Prototype Catapults.
