They buffed its torps to 10km range but it's not enough. Although it depends on the taste of each player, i would not recommend the current state of Kii to players whilere there are more fun and effective BBs like, Alabama, Massa, Lenin, Tirpitz, Amagi. One may have a great game in it but it doesn't make it a better ship than its counterparts. Hence, torp use is very situational and effective in cases like yoloing. Once you show broad side, and if the enemy player knows how to shoot, you either lose 2/3 of your HP or get dev striked. Well, it has very weak broad side like Lenin, all other Soviet BBs, Yamato, Roma, etc. Because in order to use them u need to brawl. I mean, torpedoes alone is not enough of a gimmick. You are right, it really does lack a selling point. Besides that, in order to use the ship's best and perhaps only gimmick, 10Km 62knots torpedoes, you need a close range battle in it. Guns don't behave and are not precise like Yamato guns when you shoot from very long range but in contrary, they hit like a shotgun from close ranges. Knowing that Kii has lower sigma value than Amagi, 1.7 that is, i usually don't use the spotter plane because 19.4KM is far enough range for effective shooting. You can also check Kii AA impressions from littlewhitemouse review below. In other words, if i was asked to pick a BB today from all tier 8 ships but only for AA, and only one i have to choose, i would still prefer Kii to others, but that's me. The other BBs have short range AA that Kii doesn't have but Kii doesn't need it as it shreds, or used to shred, lolz, in medium to long range. For example, it could get long distance secondaries, which would make it unique in IJN tree.Īctually, from hands on experience Kii is not weaker than any other tier 8 BB in terms of AA. It is the major issue, that Kii basically lacks any solid selling point, other than torpedos ( mostly newbie basher).
Using fighter is hard choice, given Kii's short main guns range. So it has been effectively nerfed relatively to other ships. By comparing the present stats (dpm), Kii is distinctly inferior to Massachussets (also premium) and FAR inferior to North Carolina. It seems Kii was once equal in AA to US BBs.
