Agreed. Akizuki is largely underrated in the recommendations here. Highest AA gunnery in the entire game, second only to Yamato. In the Truk event e6 she repeatedly disabled the pre-boss carrier princess that was sending other foolish admirals back to base repeatedly. Thanks to her I had an extremely smooth combined fleet time. Think about it, 1 DD almost singlehandedly taking out every single plane the carrier princess could throw out, preventing carrier princess from attacking during the shelling phase. How unbalanced is that! And as for lacking offense, make no mistake, her night battle damage is not as good as other DDs, but it's still nothing to scoff at. On one of my friend's runs she managed to penetrate the e6 water demon battleship's 200 armor(!!!) with a critical DA for the kill.
