While he would have enough screws to +6 two 41's he dosen't have enough 41's to get that far. Without an exorbitant amount of resources spent trying to get some 5 hour construction times, having to Kai Kongou class for a single gun or spamming 10x scrap value (or more) he might not be able to get enough in time. I also don't think Kongous in a combined fleet with low star overweight guns would play out too well. From what i think. upgrade 91 AP shell is of course first thing (low cost big reward)

Then having 4 41cm + 1 is great. I would chose 41+1 over 35.6+4(or even 6) in a combined fleet for Kongou class (apart from Krishima who have natural high FP)

35.6 just doesnt give enough FP. maybe in BB task force since it has innate FP bonus.

The thing is he has Nagato/Musashi/Yamato / Yamashiro I would chose these 4 for combined BB fleet. And all of them are better wiht 41 cm. (even he upgrade 4 41 cm to +1, thats still 10 41 cm left, which is plenty)

I think upgrading 2X35.6 cm is fine. But more is kind of waste. Again just because of lack FP on that gun.

Overweight is a issue but high level ships has innate high accraucy, while level cant increase firepower.

And this overweight penalty is only a big concern in surface fleet (team 1) and mobile fleet (team 2)

Like i said i wouldnt even use Kongou class in Surface fleet int he first place (maybe Krishima only) and Mobile fleet team 2 will require 1 FBB. so Kirishima with 2 35.6 cm upgrade is a good idea.

That is why I think only 2X35.6 is plenty.

I do apolgize for my wording on the previous reply. It sound a bit too strong. Like i said, upgrading 2 is fine, but in the long run. Most of your ship wil be using 41cm 38cm kai 46cm (51cm) and 381CM (italin ships only). So if we look at this from a end of game point of view, 35.6 is only a filler, not worth investing too much in.

And yes I do equip my kongou class with 41cm as well. (but i do have high star on them)
