Analysis

Priority:

• Kai: Medium

She has good firepower which makes her a good combatant. She is let down by her slot distribution. While she has a large top slot that makes for a powerful airstrike, her other slots being small means they risk being emptied. This can potentially disable her ability to artillery spot.

• Mk.II: High

Her Mk.II remodel is unique in that it does not require Night Operation Aviation Personnel to trigger night carrier cut-ins. This leaves more room for attack planes which gives her the most powerful night attack of the carriers. It also means she doesn't need to compromise her daytime combat ability.

In addition to her special ability, her firepower and slot distribution is excellent. Her two large slots being on top means that she can more easily maintain her ability to artillery spot and the plane proficiency bonus. Her remodel does come at a steep cost but it is well worth it for her abilities.

• Mk.II mod.2: Medium

She loses the innate ability to attack at night with her mod.2 remodel but gains the ability to shell while moderately damaged. She also loses a bit of firepower but gains plane count. Her slot distribution remains good and she is a good shelling carrier.
