User blog comment:DynamitMC/The Reasons Why A Teitoku Fails to Do A Certain Map/@comment-26571623-20150905043226/@comment-24978536-20150905072016

I've seen quite a few people use Pre-Kai Ni Fusou-class, thinking their fleet is as good as anyone else's and then wondering why they aren't able to clear the map. It is not like they can't be used in an easy map, but they are definitely not good ships to sortie with...

Fusou-class Kai Ni on the other hand is awesome. They don't have quite as high armor, HP and evasion stat as most other BB, but the stat differences really aren't that large and they do their job fine (that large plane slot comes into use sometimes too, although not very often). It is just a small amount of individual experience, but my Fusou and Yamashiro have been the most reliable BB I've had in three events in a row, always being able to fill whatever duty I've asked them to do where other BB have failed.
