"i mean, how do u even know its Ha He Chi when the game never even mention 駆逐イ, 駆逐ロ級? or are u saying more people can read イ,ロ,ハ but not 駆逐 or 戦艦 which are available on every ship card?."

It does mention them on the battle results screen. What are you talking about?

We don't use イ,ロ,ハ because this is an English wiki. We use the romaji for it instead (I, Ro, Ha). Which is obviously a lot easier to read than kanji for an English speaker, no matter how I look at it. They'll know that  駆逐 represents Destroyer or  戦 represents Battleship, but it still takes longer to register in their minds than DD or BB because they're a LOT more familiar with Latin alphabets, which they've interacted with literally all their lives, than some kanji characters which, up until this point, they've never even come across before. And as a result, they'll be able to decide which fleet to send a lot more quickly, because this time difference is counted once for every single ship (although repeats will take somewhat less extra time per ship, there's still a difference because there's a x2 in text form, and once you move to the next node/formation, or   the next map  at least, you might still have to refresh your memory again), and it adds up. More than once, if they want to look over it again (and again) just in case. Ditto for the images, where trying to read them will be like trying to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

So do you want them to read English text, or do you want them to read kanji +  hieroglyphs? I think the answer is obvious.
