Regarding firepower though, I-19 has a much higher torpedo stat, which allows her to outclass both I-8 and I-401 on pure raw damage even on night battle (obviously on day battle too).

The sum of each of the 3 ship's firepower and torpedo stat:

I-8:

14 + 84 = 98

I-401:

19 + 80 = 99

I-19:

12 + 89 = 101

(What a surprise, for the naughty Iku to have the strongest stats for night battle... (lol) aside from luck.)

Of course, in practice it can difficult for a SS to take down the higher grade enemies on night battle without a Cut-in attack, and their accuracy can be low without a Cut-in attack. That makes higher luck SS like I-58 and Ro-500 much more effective for night battles, even though I-19 has higher combat stats otherwise.
