So as someone with a reasonable-ish fleet and okay resources but crippled buckets...what's the verdict on the equipment rewards? Worth doing some maps on normal?

Zuiun 631 seems...very eh. Compared to even the basic Zuiun you gain three points of damage and one accuracy but actually lose a point of AA, two ASW and two LOS. Compared to anything better that you can still get its awful. Against the 634 Zuiun from Tone class you're only gaining one damage and one accuracy for (again) a big hit to ASW and LOS and again a loss of AA. And against the Model 12 from Fusou class you're losing or equal in every category except accuracy (a one point advantage).

Submarine Radar seems like a nice idea. But it would seem better to try for an I-13 drop for the other Sub Radar. And I'm not 100% sure on where the biggest appeal of these stats is...is it the evasion? In which case its better to just use a boiler maybe? LOS? I'm not sure of the point.

New Sainun gains +1 Damage and +1 LOS. Nice but nothing especially to write home about.

So I guess what I'm asking is...is the payoff of any of the above actually worth clearing the maps at higher difficulty? Am I missing something?
