− | :This heavy cruiser can be remodeled into an aviation cruiser (CAV) very early (level 10), which allows her to carry seaplane bombers and, much more importantly, fighters. | + | ===Important Information=== |
− | :Thus, while she isn't anything worth writing home about when it comes to surface combat, she can play an extremely important role when it comes to gaining air superiority. | + | * Required for quest: |
| + | ** Mandatory: |
| + | *** {{Q|A76}} |
| + | *** {{Q|B101}} |
| + | ** Optional: |
| + | *** {{Q|G10}}, {{Q|G11}} |
| + | * Helper for the following equipment: |
| + | ** Improvement: [[Type 0 Fighter Model 63 (Fighter-bomber)]], [[8cm High-angle Gun Kai + Additional Machine Guns]], [[Shiden Kai 4]] |
| + | ** Improvement & upgrade: [[12.7cm Twin High-angle Gun Mount]], [[20.3cm (No.3) Twin Gun Mount]], [[8cm High-angle Gun]] |
| | | |
− | :Do note that, while aviation cruisers can attack enemy submarines with proper equipment, they are generally a very poor choice for this role.

− | '''Kumano Kai Ni'''
| |
− | | |
− | Priority: '''Medium-High'''
| |
− | :Her second remodel increases her Torpedo, AA, LOS, HP and Evasion stat, increasing her suitability and night battle potential.
| |
− | :The ability to equip some guns in her Reinforcement Expansion slot further emphasize her usefulness during night battles.
| |
− | :However, her base Luck stat is low so she's not a reliable choice for cut-in attacks unless very significant investments are made in order to increase it.
| |
− | :Keep in mind that this remodel requires a [[Blueprint]].
| |
− | | |
− | '''Kumano Kou Kai Ni'''
| |
− | | |
− | Priority: '''Medium-Low'''
| |
− | :This remodel turns her into a "fast attack" type of light carrier (CVL), and while this is theoretically a convertible remodel keep in mind that going from CAV to CVL requires a further [[Blueprint]] every time, making it a ''de facto'' permanent one.
| |
− | :As carriers, she and her sister have a small air wing, but fast speed, great survivability for their ship category and the highest firepower available to a light carrier.
| |
− | :This makes them hit very hard during daytime shelling, while sacrificing some bombing efficiency.
| |
− | :Unlike other CVLs, she will target surface ships over submarines when both are present.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Recommended Roles====
| |
− | * Surface combat
| |
− | * Night battle (second remodel only)
| |
− | * Air superiority (second remodel and beyond)
| |
− | * Shelling support (carrier version only)
| |
− | | |
− | ====Not Recommended Roles====
| |
− | * ASW
| |
− | | |
− | ===Important Info===
| |
− | * Required for A76 and B101.
