At the beginning, Ise and Hyuuga have firepower of BB but after remodel they become BBA, causing them to lose some of base firepower and makes them less powerful in offence.

However, remodel gives them great evasion, armor, and luck (these are due to their historical record), as well as capability to use seaplanes. Some people underestimating the usefulness of seaplanes, but they can support your main CVs and now they can be used to attack submarines, too.

Her resource consumption is somewhat medium compared to Nagato-class or Kongou-class and their Kai-ni. (and its because she consume baux for lost seaplanes)

Overall, she is well balanced--you might feel she cannot hit hard enough in decisive battles and later levels, but her strength is in its versatility and survivability, not pure firepower (and with main guns, her firepower is still higher than general heavy cruisers)--Fuso-class have similar characteristics, but Ise class has very low level requirement for remodel, and...well, Fuso classes are very...very unlucky. poor Fuso and Yamashiro...
