Thanks for info aingeal

kita's are always nice to have, both for leveling lower level sailors in case you dont
have an high level AA gunner emden and for fleet purpose. harbor tile kita runs, fleet war
etc.

Also they are quite fun. If you feel a bit lazy, compared to AA leveling, you just go on,
empty your torp in a GB (which takes bout 2 min maybe. less if you get killed before
finishing) and then watch or do something else while the game finish and you can pocket
both your personnal torp xp and a bit of shared.

However, there is one major flaw to the kita. While it level things real fast, it doesnt
level lots of them. A regular IJN BB crew is:

4-5 engies
3-4 reps
2 AA
2gunner
1 scout

Kita line is a CL line, so you have with the kita a big wooping 3 support slot, + the two
R slot gunner which nobody use. So maybe you get your 5 engies leveled. Now Kita ISNT a
gunship. So you lose 2 slot to torpedomen, which aren,t at all used in BBs, unless you are
getting pissed at sub and decide you are going to take some DC aboard for a game or two.
Needless to say, those aren't part of your BB6 crew, still.

Also you keep torpmen all the way to it.

So you end up at kongo with a defecient crew, crap SD rep rate OH and prolly no idea how
to use a gunship due to having your last gunship at level 12!

Myoko on the other hand, has 4 support slot, doesnt lose 2 to torps and then level:

2 gunners (obviously)
6 support sailor

so 8/13 for your BB, which kind of pwn the 5/13 of the kita.

So the solution is: 1 BO to kita, you might want to stop leveling at myoko level so you
actually get to kongo getting your support ahead, or at least at level.

then 1 BO start and take the gunship line, which is a lot better to level your things all
at once. This BO should be your BB BO, as you'll want your kita BO weight reduced to fit
higher level sailors in it sometime.

in the end, you have a kita, and 13/13 leveling spot for your BB crew.

Aint IJN well made ;)?

of course after you swear cuz you only have 1 BB line, thus killing the motivation of
getting the BO higher than lvl 70 on at least a line.

aw well. we cant have everything. Just make sure not to class your AA right away and keep
them as armory till lvl 65+ You dont need them till yammy anyway. I classed mine at 85.
I'm telling this to hopefully avoid a come back in 1-2 month: Guys, my AA sux why is that?

It doesn't matter. both lines will lead you to Myoko. By firepower I'm assuming you're
going to want a battleship more than a CV. So don't pick hosho at 46. Wait until 47 for
myoko. Kitakami is a very useful ship IMO. Go for it.

u can play both line ....................

play with 2 BOs and go for both lines~

PS: kita has the greatest firepower/salvo (can I call it salvo?)

roll rn, so you can't lose ever.

though I suppose being able to play afked is almost just as good.

Roll multiple bridge operators, so you can go multiple lines?

Well if you get kitakami your not going to have any real gunships until myoko...
