Restores work yes, most would say don't bother and get an extra engineer.  while thats also a good tactic having 1 resty will not harm you in the long run on the kaiser.  Just means it will recover from burning a bit quicker.

Like i said most people just run another engineer, but in the end it's fully up to you.

Please don't use restore, except for a few speciallist applications.

Generally your ship will benefit from more engineers.

If you're not sure please post your crew setup and I'm sure you will get the right advice.

Restorers on Kaisers ( or any BB/ship that has 900 SD without the use of restorers) are an utter waste of a crew slot, unless you need to fill a crewspot to leave the harbor ( engineer/repairer/seaman are all more usefull though).
A restorer's speciality is providing more restore (=SD) than any other same level sailor.But once you hit the soft defense cap at 900 SD all a restorer brings to a crew is a secondrate repairrate, the extra restore ability does absolutely nothing.

Search for my name as an Author in Tips&Tactics if you want the proof.

Because a restorer is useless at somewhat higher lvl, it's also pretty useless to level one. The xp you spend on a restorer is a lot more usefull on a sailor that doesn't get discarded along the way.

@OP make sure to make 2 BO's to go both ship lines for germany both are fun and offer unique capabilities.  This also allows you to keep your gunners, AA gunners, and support crew to stay ahead of your current BO level.

 

I have played far long enough to know the benefits and disadvantages of crews for each nation.  My kaiser is the only ship that uses a resty, i have plenty of OH to get me through a match. Just because a player does not have "optimal crew or perfect crew" does not mean they are unable to compete and or dominate, being able to adapt to what your given and can use helps.

Also you can thank SDE for the crews they give new players that do confuse them quite a bit.   Since they don't supply you with much in the way of a tutorial so you pretty much fumble around unless you get lucky and find someone who knows what they are doing.

I also told the OP that he would more than likely be better served getting another engineer, again it is all down to what he wishes to do.  Also my crew got to the kaiser years ago and i was not going to go and level an extra sailor up just to get another engy for it.  Being able to dodge is just as important as being able to survive the hit and limp away to repair.

My other crews i had fully planned out and they do not have a restore mostly because they certainly do not need one.  Consider it a difference of opinion on the matter then.

Danita himself said "unless you want to fill up a spot".The main problem with what you said though was "it just means it'll burn a bit quicker" which,on high levels is just not true however EBVEd your restorer is.Giving false information was why Danita quoted your post,not to attack you.

You did say that to OP, true:

But you also affirmed this, which is patently untrue:

The restorer will not have any effect whatsoever on the Kaiser, an additional rep or engy would, though. So by wasting one slot you put yourself at a disadvantage. But, well, I thought OP was trolling, so I didn't want to reply initially...

I had not said he attacked me, mearly pointed out that not all players play with perfect crews is all if it seemed like i was responding as such then i appologies for it seeming that way.   I had limited aid at first in making my german crew, however i did manage to fix it most of the way long ago, still i keep the resty around simply because i want to. 

While it is great he did a guide most of them eventually get buried over time instead of being out in the open and easy to find on the main page. 

Does a resty in this time and age of NF mean nothing?  More than likely if not flat out means nothing.  For a new player it can be helpful but only until thier crews are good enough to maintain 900SD.  Doesn't help you have a restore sailor right off the bat when you make a new account now does it?

most of the crew i have on my kaiser is base 10 or 11, any elites i got i won during events of old.

 

Anyway hopefully the OP got the answer he was looking for.

(I've seen you in a H44 - if at that level you haven't figured out a restorer, god help you)
