There's an accuracy penalty on running guns too big for the ship but normally the loss of accuracy isn't anything too terrible as long as you're only using a pair of guns (i.e. 2x46cm on a FBB, 2x20.3cm on a CL etc). However anecdotally I think they're amplifying the accuracy loss somehow in Combined Fleets.

Personally I was running all four Kongou-class Kai-2s in E5 easy, all with 46cm + 41cm + seaplane, 2 with radars and 2 with AP shells. None of them could hit a thing most of the time, scratch damage on cut-ins and so on. Dropped them down to 2x41cm and they're suddenly wrecking everything like you'd expect them to. 100+ damage on destroyers instead of 2-3 and so on. There's probably even an argument for running with lower caliber +accuracy guns like Bismarck's 38cm or Haruna K2's 35.6cm Dazzle guns, though I'm doing E5 Easy so a bit less important.
