This smacks of ill-preparedness and poor foresight by developers. First they added torpedo cruisers that had opening torp attacks and insane night battle damage that totally wrecked non-installation bosses. Then afterwards they realised how OP CLTs were and started clamping down on CLTs using map routing, quest requirements, combined fleet requirements, etc. Then they about-turned and added Abukuma k2 which is the exact same thing except, for no apparent reason, is not considered a CLT.

In a stunning lack of self-awareness, now they are doing the exact same thing. First they added Tone k2 class and buffed the Mogami-class slots until their air groups became viable and suddenly they totally wrecked nodes with no air power because artillery spotting. Then they realised how OP CAVs were over CAs because they could actually give the entire fleet double attacks during daytime, contact, etc. So to clamp down they started adding more non-CAV map routing, forced and contrived CA requirements, quest requirements, etc. Now, about-turn, Zara gets the same kind of slot that Mogami used to be limited to, but for no apparent reason, is not considered a CAV.

If you are going to do this, don't create a separate subclass in the first place FailFish
