Isuzu's big problem is that she's missing a seaplane. Her firepower is on the low side, but she works out pretty much on any map that is designed for a torpedo squadron (1 x CL, 5 x DD); even if you use some "elite" CL like Jintsu for the greater firepower, the CL will probably fire at some enemy destroyer and waste her firepower anyway.

Isuzu's bonus is that she's useful against submarines and can prodive anti-aircraft cover. If you can't get Air Superiority that lack of a seaplane doesn't matter.

I find she's useful on 3-5's south route, especially on the last clear where there's CVLs on the preboss node. The 1-4 map is good for Isuzu, too, though the map's so weak it doesn't really matter what you use.
