Unique Upgrades

I only have ONE UU for my CV Midway.
As for other UU, what do you have and why you think it's worth it? Please share...
(also considering the upcoming changes to some UU)

I have the UU for the Z52, though I only load it in coop so it might not be very relevant to you. 

Z52's torp reload gets to 58.5 secs with the UU. At 10.5km, 76kts (80 after upcoming UU buff), 1.26km detection, spamming these are a lot of fun. 

In coop yolo runs, u can earmark 1 set for the DD, 1 set for the CA and 2 sets for the BB, wiping the whole flank, and have the torps ready at hand when u catch up with the CV at the rear.

Montana's UU allows your ship to tank a lot of fire damage. Because it complements to the standard "tank" build. Combine that with the special DCP mod on slot 1, and your Montana becomes nigh unsinkable by fire.

Z52 UU pushes your detection range out to 6.4km from memory, makes it a lot more vulnerable in randoms.

Which ships do you have and play often?

Imo Yamato's UU is pretty good - gives improved accuracy over RoF from the usual reload mod.

I like Zao's improved accuracy from the UU too.

Thats correct. It is one of those UUs with questionable usability in PvP, but a lot of fun over in PvE

UU in Gearing get your stealth right up there with Shima but you got good smoke , a long reaching Torp with decent damage , and on top still got very usable guns.

No you are not going to gun it against many of the newer dedicated gunboat but now it's a very usable Torp boat that do not suck with their guns or you can spec for the guns and made it a gunboat with actually very fine set of torp

Speed and maneuvering still not the best but perfectly ok

Oh yes... Zao is totally worth it... after Yamato UU then...

We have a few guys use it in CB to assist with winkling out bow in tanks. Improved accuracy helps with fires and cause you are bow in turret rotation nerf doesn't matter.
