Secondly, about the Iowa-class battleships, there speculations going on that they'll absolutely fuck up the Abyssals with their cruise missiles thanks to their armament refits in 1980s. Of course, the devs would simply nerf or even exclude their 1980 configs altogether by claiming cruise missiles won't work against Abyssals, or for no reason whatsoever.

Assuming that their Kai form was pre-1980 upgrades and Kai Ni (or whatever name they come up with) was the post-1980s, then the former would have 20 to 30 luck and the latter has around 50 luck. Given the fat chance of Iowa-class ever getting their second remodels, they'll most likely to have around 30 luck with very high luck cap. I think it's more like Yukikaze is long live + lucky incidents = 60 luck (without taking Tang Yang into account)

Likewise, Iowa lived even longer, so she could have quite a high luck without her 80s remodel. (I think we can all agree that modern weaponry will never be introduced in KC) As for lucky incidents... does successfully evading a friendly torpedo from a certain noob called USS William D. Porter (DD-579) while carrying President F.D. Roosevelt count?

Although I will have to admit that after some researches, the luck settings are indeed inconsistant. Among those who survived the war, there are those with 20 luck from the start (Junyo), and those with 10 even in Kai form (Myoko).
