Not really, the devs kept saying she is DE, so it's probably a "DD with some special functions", just like CVE being officially classified as a subcategory of CVL. I would still suggest stop using DE to refer to Kaiboukans since DE started to have an official meaning. Oh and I'm happy that a certain guy who insisted that DEs could be classified as Kaiboukans just got his face slapped.

I'm actually brimming with both fury and satisfaction as the arguments that were provided a year ago has been completely ignored and it finally comes back to bite the asses of every fool that voted for DE. The more funny thing is that instead of admitting that they are wrong all along, they blame Tanaka because they still believe its wrong to call Sammy B a DD, even if we consider that we use the IJN way of classifying ships lol. With the latest update, its basically proven without a doubt that the devs uses the IJN method of classification, regardless whether the game uses US hull codes or not.

I've looked around and it seems like confusion is already spreading left and right, I'm considering to just rename Kaiboukan to KB by the end of today if nobody comes with a better permanent solution. =w=
