There was still too much ad hominem crap from trolls there so I took the liberty to respond to you here.

Thanks for your input about guns. It now makes much more sense to me why she might have higher FP than Kinugasa. From what I've read Furutaka class was too old to receive the same remodelling as Aoba class shortly after comission and actually got worse guns (regular 20.3 opposed to Aoba's Mk II), so I assumed they remained inferior. Still, I would expect her to have the same Torp stat since eventually they had exactly the same torpedo equipment.

As for stock equipment, I absolutely have nothing against that searchlight. Joke or not, it fits her design and isn't something really important. I will remain cross about double no. 2 though. Even if no. 2 instead of 3 can be somehow justified, it should be only one gun. As I said, for obvious reasons she should be more similar to Aoba class, not Myoukou.

Regarding remodel level, there's nothing that can convience me it's not too high. Furutaka class was remodelled earlier than Aoba class, so it can't be explained by date of recomissioning. She's basically older version of Kinugasa and one of 4 similar, low consumption CA in the game, so I think they all should have K2 at the same level. Hell, if you go by dates Furutaka should have lvl50 remodel.

I guess I wouldn't mind stats that much if at least remodel level and stock equipment made some sense. I really hate both power creep and inconsistencies. Especially, when all they had to do is to copy Kinugasa Kai Ni just with a searchlight and +/-1 stat here and there.
