This is a update to my last post and I donβt really know what one to pick to be honest but Iβm leaning to the cruisers
Tier5: Nisshin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_seaplane_carrier_Nisshin
Tier6: Oyodo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_cruiser_%C5%8Cyodo
Tier7: Mogami post Midway refit https://i.imgur.com/nd8fKfo.jpg
Tier 8: Tone preliminary design with 4 x 3 155mm guns
Tier 9: Chikuma, second ship in the Tone class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_cruiser_Chikuma_(1938)
Tier 10: Well there are no real designs that can fit this line here as far as i know, there is a 1920s design for a hybrid cruiser but it is way too heavily armed (6x3 150mm) to be the tier 10 of this line, (would make a cool tier X special ship tho). So i think for tier X a hypothetical refit to Yoshino with the back turret and catapult removed and a flight deck added would be a good fit.
The gimmick of this line is obviously the planes, low tier ships (tier 5 to 8) get access to HE dive bombers, the tier 5 and 6 get D3A's (hypothetical) while the tier 7 and 8 get D4Y's (used on Ise class). The tier 9 and 10 get M6A's with the ability to switch between either torpedo or bomb load-outs in port.
Given that these cruisers have bad main armaments i would also propose to give them a main battery reload booster consumable, other consumables would be your heal for tier 9 and 10 and standard hydro/def aa, or another idea would be to give them the ability to launch fighter planes like a CV instead of the choice to use def aa.
I would really like to hear what you guys think of this proposal.
I have developed a soft spot for the Dido Class. I was wondering, how do they compare against equivalent Japanese, Italian, and German light (and heavy) cruisers?
Tier IX Fuji:
Fuji is a B-65 Class Battlecruiser armed with 410mm guns.
Consumables:
Rapid Reload III x2
Secondary Overload I x2
Engine Boost II x3
Play style:
Her play style would be to snipe on battleships from range with her HE shells that will have a very high fire chance. Her guns will also have a short reload time for their caliber. Her secondaries will also be better of that on Azuma with shorter reload, and can be controlled manually. This allows her to enter a brawl with other heavy cruisers and come out on top.

Hi! Friends of Reddit! We are Chinese world of warships community player. We are very interested in the manufacture and history of warships.
We also hope that we can build our ideal battleship according to our own interests and share it with everyone.
Today we wanna share a SHIP named KUMOTORI.

In the design plan of the B65 large cruiserββA vague lightweight plan has been proposed.
This plan is to equip higher than 8 guns over 10 inches on a ship with a standard displacement of 15,000 tonsοΌAnd can reach a maximum speed than 36 knots,at the same time, the plan also defines the protection indicators.
After completing the ship design details by us,We created this shipβThe tier X Japanese Super heavy cruiser KUMOTORI,The name of the ship is taken from Japan KUMOTORI mountainοΌγγγ¨γγγΎ/ι²εε±±οΌ.
