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.
