Kii features a significantly improved AA suite, comprised of 100mm dual-purpose mounts for her long-range bubble - instead of the slower-firing 127mm batteries generally found on Japanese capital ships of the era - and large numbers of the Japanese variant of the 40mm Bofors that make US and Royal Navy mid-range AA so punishing.

She's far less vulnerable than Amagi to aerial torpedoes, however.

She is more vulnerable when broadside thanks to her thinner turtleback armor section and worse torpedo protection system (TPS), which provides roughly half the protection of Amagi’s TPS subsequently, Kii is significantly more vulnerable to ship-launched torpedoes. Kii has some fairly noteworthy differences from Amagi, though. She sports the same turning circle and detection statistics as Amagi and sports a thicker main belt and torpedoes over Amagi's TDS and turtleback armor. She mounts the same main battery armament as her tech tree cousin - though they are a touch less accurate and have shorter range - in the same turret layout. Historically, Tier VIII premium Japanese battleship Kii was designed as a follow-on to the Amagi-class battlecruisers with thicker belt armor with slightly lower speed.
