The power-creep is very very real... in fact, I would call it less 'creep' and more like 'a brisk walk'. I haven't even been at this game a year yet and I have already noticed the influx of equipment and such that has drastically changed things.

I mean, the best guns a DD could get when I first started outside of the ducky guns was the 12.7cm B K2 (or the 120mm twin gun from Libeccio; only difference between them is the +1 accuracy from Libe's guns).

Since then, the both C K2 (+1 armor and accuracy over the B K2) and the D K2 (+1 AA, Armor and Evasion and +2 Accuracy over the B K2...nevermind the bonuses given by putting this thing on certain ships) were added. While the D K2 is pretty difficult to get right now, I suspect that either of these will become quite more common as more Yuugumo and Kagerou-classes ships get their K2.

...and that's not really even touching on the 130mm from Tashkent or the QF 4.7in guns from Jervis...

Hell, at this point, the only reason why I see the Ducky Guns as sticking near the top of the heap is due to the insane AA stat and the integrated Fire Director.

...these are things that I've noticed just for Destroyers...
