This ship has very good air defense, thanks to the versatile anti-air 100 mm guns, which are also anti-mine guns. With 9.5 km of anti-mine caliber and 10 km of torpedo distance Kii is a very dangerous at medium and close ranges, so you can emerge victorious from most duels even with 10 tier ships. It should be noted that the angles of launching torpedoes are very comfortable, you do not need to show your board to launch. If this and a volley of 10 guns are still not enough, you can turn the hull back after a divergence with the enemy and send him 3 more. The torpedo range is 10 km, which makes it possible to make double launches when approaching and greatly helps when stumbling. Thanks to a closed installation, they are much less likely to fail due by the hostile fire than on German battleships. 3 torpedoes fired from close range can be an unpleasant surprise for an enemy ship that has decided to come closer. One of the reasons to do this is the torpedo tubes installed on the Kii. Kii's anti-mine caliber consists of a large number of guns, the effectiveness of which can be improved by the upgrades and perks of the captain up to 9.5 km distance. The location of the turrets is more suitable for a moderate retreat, although there are no special problems when approaching, you just need to carefully monitor and turn the hull to fire with the rear turrets, when the main caliber of enemy ship is reloading. These guns were created for firing at heavily armored capital ships, for firing at lightly armored targets, such as light cruisers and destroyers, it is better to use high-explosive shells. Kii has a main caliber of 410, which means that you will not have problems with armor penetration for most targets, even at tier 10. This battle cruiser perfectly combines speed, power of 410 mm guns, torpedo tubes and a good secondary guns.

One of the most efficient and certainly the most beautiful ship at tier 8.

Kii is premium VIII tier Japan Battlecruiser.
