I picked-up Ise this past weekend and gave her a quick spin in a couple of Coop matches. I mainly picked her up for use in Operations, and just to have something different.
From my very limited experience, she's rather fun to play. And I'm really looking forward to trying her out in the operations. Her main guns are pretty decent, her secondaries are, well, lacking, but her AA is great for a tier VI, and the planes are her winning trait. For the low cost, I'd say she's a good deal if you like something different.

For the low cost, I'd say she's a good deal if you like something different. I got mine on the day of release. She has VERY unique and fun gameplay, but I find she lacks the carrying potential of other BB's or even a dedicated CV. Her strike planes are a cool concept, but you are unable to use consumables(repair or DCP), fire your guns, manually maneuver your ship or turn your guns while you are flying. The games I tried to use my planes a lot I did very little relative damage. She has massive torp walls of 8 per drop, but each does only 2700 max with very, VERY poor spread. Even fully stopped, unaware BB's usually only get hit by ~4 torpedos. With torp damage mitigation what it is, its much more psycological than dangerous on anything but the most low health targets. The planes definitely have their uses for spotting, but then you aren't tanking damage nor firing your guns which is generally what a BB needs to do. She seems to be quite squishy and her rearward firing angles are lamentable. I like Ise, she is fun and unique for a good price, but she isn't the OP Frankenstein's Monster everyone on the main forum makes her out to be. |

Agree 100% that she's nowhere near being OP. I think too many people get wound-up anytime any CVesque ship is introduced just from their hatred of CVs. Sure, a full division of Ises (Isi??) can work together and ruin people's games, but so can a talented division of any particular ship.
It can be a handful to balance using the planes versus the guns, consumables, navigation ,etc. with her, but that's part of the challenge. While I was able to get 5-6 top hits on bot BBs, the torps really played havoc with opfor maneuvering. The bots just have to dodge the torps...it's literally in their programming, making them turn broadside to the guns of the fleet. And the planes are great for resetting a cap. They also make spotting a DD that's hunting you much easier.
I'm really looking forward to using her in Operations as I think that is where she will shine.
