Following to what Racoontail said.

i personally will value 41cm a lot. This is because they are the go to option in combined fleet for heavier BBs.

While still perfect option for Kongou class BB (in non combined fleet map)

In a BB combined fleet, team 1 (4bb usually) suffer a big penalty in accraucy but improve buff on firepower.

I usually think y ou should avoid using Kongou class ships here, apart from Krishima. Who has immense firepower and can get away using 2 35.6 heavy modified. (combinied fleet buff in FP and her stats make this ok)

I dont like to use other Kongou class BB in combined fleet because you are in a bad postion, give them 35.6cm they lack fiirepower but have good accraucy. Give them 41 cm, they have ok firepower, but lack accraucy.

So i would just use Nagato class, Fusou Class (k2), Krishima, (the execpetion) and of course Yamato class if you got them.

With your fleet I am sure you can get away with not using Kongou class in final opeartion if this is a surface BB combined fleet.

You have to factor in you must have enough guns for 4BB (combined fleet) + 1BB (2nd team) +4 BB (2 support)

so yeah you need to hold 9X2=18 guns in reserve. Becareful with those upgrade 41 cm (38cmkai 381cm kai).

In the mean time, I second what Racoontail says, you proabaly should only focus on upgrading 35.6cm (2-4) since your 41cm is really low in number now.

There are plenty of other stuff to upgrade, 91 ap shell, No2 20.3, Quint tropedo (even some Quad if you are limited in Qunit number), spot light. These are pretty important too!

Improvment is along term project and it will not make or break you in an event, it will defintely make your life easier.

So take your time and you will be there eventually (stick to daily upgrade!)
