Fusou-class Kai Ni is actually very strong and many people (including me) used them in Winter E-5 for example. Their only weakness is their lower HP when compared to other BB, but that huge plane slot more than redeemes that weakness - seaplane bombers aren't exactly a Reppuu, but they do bring some additional FP which can be important. Personally, I'm using Yamashiro or Fusou (rotating between them) on my 6-2 farming and they've been doing great job.

Also, that 41cm prototype what Yamashiro has is a very useful equipment. In normal maps, 46cm guns may still be preferable, but in combined fleet event maps you need all the accuracy you can get, which makes these 41cm prototypes superior to 46cm. In last event's combined fleet maps, many people actually completely put away their 46cm guns from every BB other than the Yamato-class, in favour for better accuracy guns without the "overweight" penalty what the devs mentioned a while back (and also for the accuracy boost that comes by using equipment that belongs to the ship). I honestly don't know how much of that accuracy boost and overweight penalty is true, but I did notice a significant increase in accuracy myself, when I changed my 46cm guns to other guns, such as the 41cm prototype. In Winter E-5, my Fusou and Yamashiro who were equipped with 41cm prototypes (for Fusou, the second main gun was something else though), were pretty much the only ships in the first fleet who stayed sparkling most of the time, due to all the MVPs they got (aside from my flagship Katori, who automatically gets MVP when a night battle is entered).
