and is there a reason it would be Noshiro, over Agano (the nameship) for a Kai2 due to the new gun? The dragon sisters have RIDICULOUS attack stats.

If you actually want to do serious damage with planes, then itemizing for contact is ESSENTIAL.. so just throw a yellow plane Hiryuu's 3-slot.. Boom. 50% chance for all your carriers to deal 120% dmg with planes.. Not attack focused my arse. Lol.

Hiryuu's FP brings her shelling damage to 150.5 before adding plane damage.. Once you add a bomber or two on, she'll practically be able to hit FP cap even in double line formation or head-on engagement... Other carriers couldnt dream of doing this..

FP differences are multiplied by 1.5 on carriers too.. So atm, crane FP is pretty abysmal compared to car. div 1/2.. ~_~ I really think the cranes needed this boost to stay competitive..
