Of course, there are other, smaller differences.

It's a lot more interesting to look at pictures when you grasp the differences between them!
I'm still all alone ?
Main differences of the Special Types (after construction)
It was also possible to add an air intake to the engine room between the second and third torpedo launch tubes!!
Pipe-shaped air intakes
Bowl-shaped air intakes
Eh... our riggings have pipe-shaped air intakes.
But our Kai Ni riggings are in the bowl-shape category!
The air intakes to the boilers were changed from pipe-shaped to bowl-shaped.
