* Good slot count.

*** She still loses the ability to attack submarines on those forms.

* Bad slot distribution. But single large slot allows for one powerful airstrike.  

'''Kai Ni E'''

;Kai Ni E

* Kai Ni: '''Low'''

{|class="wikitable" style="width:800px; text-align:center; margin:auto; font-weight:bold"

: She doesn't really improve much slot-wise at Kai Ni. However, she does gain a 5th slot that gives her incredible flexibility. She can easily find room for recon planes to help LoS or other utility equipment like radar for routing in events. She can also contribute a lot more fighter support than other carriers while still maintaining strike power. Her increase to firepower is also another welcome buff. However, her remodel is expensive and not worth the cost for most players. Her Kai Ni is strictly a late-game upgrade.

* Kai Ni Go: '''Low'''

: Her slots get neutered and will be prone to getting emptied by heavy enemy anti-air. The ability to perform (O)ASW can be useful in some situations, but can impede her ability to conduct surface combat quite a bit sicne she prioritizes targetting submarines. Her Jet capabilities are nothing to write home about as she lacks the slot size to actually make them hit hard and survive reliably in heavy AA maps. That said, her niche role means it is better to keep her in her Kai Ni form unless you have the night planes required to make her useful in Kai 2 E form.

* Helper for the following equipment:

** Improvement & upgrade: [[Type 0 Fighter Model 21]], [[Type 0 Fighter Model 21 (Skilled)]], [[Type 0 Fighter Model 32]], [[Type 0 Fighter Model 32 (Skilled)]], [[Shiden Model 11]]

==Trivia==

{{#invoke:ShipDropTable|returnShipDrop|Kaga}}

* She is named after [[wikipedia:Kaga_Province|Kaga Province]], modern-day [[wikipedia:Ishikawa_Prefecture|Ishikawa Prefecture]].

*She is named after [[wikipedia:Kaga_Province|Kaga Province]], modern day [[wikipedia:Ishikawa_Prefecture|Ishikawa Prefecture]].

* She was part of the original game's launch when the game was released on the 23rd of April 2013.

*Scuttled after being heavily damaged by a US air attack at the [[wikipedia:Battle_of_Midway|Battle of Midway]], 4 June 1942

* She got her Kai Ni on the 27th of August 2020.

 

*Originally designed as a [[wikipedia:Tosa-class_battleship|''Tosa''-class Battleship]], she was converted into a carrier after the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1921.

*In the 4koma, she is often portrayed as irrationally protective of Akagi from the destroyers that historically scuttled her (who were also their escorts).  Historically, all four CarDiv1 and CarDiv2 carriers ([[Akagi]], [[Hiryuu]], [[Souryuu]] and herself) were scuttled in the Battle of Midway by Japanese destroyers' torpedoes after being heavily damaged by air attacks. During WW2, scuttling (intentional allied sinking to prevent capture) was very common, and the IJN rarely took prisoners or allowed themselves to be POWs.

* Originally designed as a [[wikipedia:Tosa-class_battleship|''Tosa''-class Battleship]], she was converted into a carrier after the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1921.

*In the 4koma, she gives off excessive levels of body heat, which she can be very sensitive about. This is a reflection of one of the historic Kaga's exhaust layouts overheating the flight deck and causing the rear crew quarters to be near uninhabitable.

**Beginning in the 1910s, nations all over the world experimented with ship designs & layouts culminating in the ''aircraft carrier''. Issues such as exhaust layout, aircraft elevators, command bridges, ship weaponry, and so forth vastly differed between classes and even within classes.
