Talk:List of heavy cruisers by upgraded maximum stats/@comment-1820055-20140316020239/@comment-24333595-20140316021738

CA are jack of all trades. They dont really excel in anything. DD like shimakaze has torpedo stats way higher, CL like jintsuu has most stats as good as CA, while her resource consumption is half of CA. Mogami class when converted to aviation cruiser, can equip seaplane bombers which can attack submarines. Depends on how much ASW u can equip on them, their damage to sub is about 1:1, good as backup for clearing subs. Lose? no they dont lose anything, and their firepower is barely lower than Takao class as u can compare above.
