On the other hand recons suggest that artillery spotting with carrier-based recons should be possible. Looks like she would handle more like BBV after all. Still more questions are raised than answered.

- what takes priority: shelling or airstrike? Is airstrike limited only to opening airstrike and maybe against subs?

- how she copes with installations?

- what are her AACI, will she keep her Iserocket/radar/sanshiki API when equipped with fighters?

More and more confusing. But also somewhat exciting. Another twitter post have stated that she is a BBV. So I think it's either: (a) no airplane in shelling phase. (b) switches to an actual carrier if no main guns are mounted (b) would be VERY OP though. and even if it's (a), Ise K2 would still be a handy addition for any CTFs, as she can carry fighters and Saiuns for them, allowing the "real" CVs to carry more bombers. and for this reason I think she would be able to mount Type 3 shells too.
