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 don't think their Cold War refits should even be included. The kanmusu in this game are based off pre-WW2 and WW2 ships. Aquiring late Cold War equipment should not even be considered as it doesn't correspond to the era game is based of.

I agree. Including ships with modern tech just raises more questions, too, like where are the JMSDF ship girls? Or Deutsche Marine? Or the Marina Militare? And why would anyone bother with WW2 ships when NATO and Russia have been churning out modern warships for decades? There'd be a legion of shipgirls with far better equipment.

Best not to open that can of worms.
