Talk:Suisei Model 12 (634 Air Group w/ Type 3 Cluster Bombs)/@comment-78.11.84.130-20190709062050/@comment-24930367-20190709071233

Well, there are drawbacks though.

Ise has to use one of her 22 slot for this plane, which potentially means giving up other equipment in certain setups that may be more beneficial than +7 firepower.

e.g. 41cm - 41cm - Recon/Zuiun Kai Ni - AP Shell - (Fighter? Suisei? Type 3? Air Radar? Another Zuiun?)

Moreover, facing heavy enemy AA could mean retirement and increased bauxite expenditure.

The firepower bonus is intended for Ise's exclusive daytime cut-in attack, the one that make use of 1x main gun + 2x Suisei 634th.

However, even with the bonus, 2x Suisei 634th don't have the same punching power as a plain 41cm Twin while increasing your bauxite expenditure. That's not even getting to main gun-Suisei cut-in's weaker damage modifier.

And with this plane's capability to let CV attack installation, CV can make use of this better than Ise can.
