mainly because it concerns pure AA platform. A b65 has a main BB role, AA is supposed to be secondary to sinking ships.
My vote goes for Mog CL, due to its greater speed compared to his CA counterpart, and still having lots of ammo. The 3x6,1 A buff was a freaking good surprise from the patch, and made the mog a ship with great AA range awesome power (no AA ship can field a more damaging AA salvo than the IJN 5 x triple 6,1 turrets. None. By far.)
kita is not an option. The ship is made for TWing. while it might be funny to try, and i prolly will when I get mine, the gun arc makes it you have to move the ship as a whole to shoot at a plane so you always broadside. Also I expect ammo issues. And still only 5 barrel per side. Why take that when you can have 5 better gun slot per side with the IJN DD3?
This one, altough it run out of ammo and high level AA gunner eats the DP awfully fast is fun. People dont expect it to be an AA ship, and its extremely hard to shoot at from high range, which gives you a + compared to the bigger Mog and myoko. Not too bad, not the best.
Asama, well the fact its the T slot that shoot is nice, faster to turn around, decent ammo, and AA whored great speed. However, the AA slots are separated, and there is only 4 of them per side. maybe the best for scout sniping everywhere, as it can cover the distance to them really fast, and snipe them from afar, not nearly enough of a damage output against squads from CVs, in my mind.
So my choice? If the BO went down Mog line, Mog CL. If not Myoko. If that BO went down a sub line, then you got no choice but asama, since its PCA status doesnt care about the ship tree the BO has, so long as it got the requiered level.
For leveling purpose tough, always take the ship which level gives the best % of xp to the sailors leveled, or that has the most leveling spot. Their I suppose Asama takes the cake with one more support for lvl 48+
If you somehow acquiere high level IJN AA gunners and want to level a BB crew to accompany them (ya never know :P) I'd suggest:
play GBs to tsukikei just leechin round basically, ASW a bit then once subs are dead hang around for max xp. Then use the followin ships to AA to your first BB:
Tsukikei Agano (actually can sport decent AA with the 6,1 no point once you got access to the mog. Also additionnal support compared to the DD3) Mog CL Myoko Asama if you have it. Dont bother with Mog CA, you want the Asama additionnal leveling slot here. If you dont have it: Mog CA slower but should get better xp gain than myoko. At any rate for higher level guys.
