Likely stats...don't mind me, just baseless speculation --

Remodel Level: 65~70 (Seeing as she outlasted her class leader Hatsuharu I find it unlikely that she would be an earlier one.)

Firepower: 50~52 (Ushio K2 levels of "yeah nothing changed". She didn't really use those guns for anything.)

Torpedo: 80~87 (The devs are kind of weird about this stat; I really have no clue what to suspect but I doubt it'll surpass Hatsuharu. Her most famous captain was also something of a humanitarian/pacificist so high offensive stats are doubtful in general.)

Anti-Air: 80~90 (Bounomisaki/Ten-Go ship; she was basically a floating AA platform at the end of the war.)

ASW: 65~75 (Hokugou Sakusen/Operation Kita was pretty impressive display of defensive ASW on part of all Japanese ships involved, for all that they mostly evaded the enemy. Not that this stat really means much with the current gameplay.)

LoS: 40~45 (I got nothing here, lol. Probably just average for DD K2s. She had pretty standard RADARs for a 1945 destroyer.)

Luck: 40~50; Cap: 79~99 (Hatsushimo's history was a lot like Shigure's -- the key difference being that Shigure was the SOLE survivor of her fleet in her respective suicide mission, but on the flipside Hatsushimo lasted much further into the war. I think they purposely left her luck low so it could have a sudden jump just like Ayanami and Shigure.)

HP: 31~33 (I personally feel like it'll be at least 32 to reflect her outlasting Hatsuharu, but I don't expect a major change.)

Armour: 51~53 (Again, not expecting a major change here. It might well match up with Hatsuharu the same way that Shigure matches up with Yuudachi, so 51 seems to be the likely bet.)

Evasion: 99+ (This is the big one that the Japanese have been talking about since speculation for her K2 began in 2013, and I might be going out on a limb to predict it so high -- but the Hatsushimo took no damage during Bounomisaki, with two injuries to her sailors compared to the nearly 2,400 survivors she rescued and brought back to Japan. Even Yukikaze was hit during that mission.)

Hopefully she ends up useful and impressive just like her real-life counterpart!
