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?
