She kept her aft guns, thats why. In history the Tone class CAs only have guns installed on the front deck, the aft deck was cleared for plane catapults.(Kancolles Kai Ni version was a "if" remodel, Tone classes never went through any major modernizations during the war.) Myouko classes kept their aft guns through out the war, so its fair enough that Haguros firepower surpasses Tone Kai Ni.

I won't put the two in the same catagory though, the Tone sisters turned into CAVs, and they have their own advantages that CAs don't have. The problem with CAs is that they usually aren't good enough to compete with BBs and Kai Ni CLs. (The former have better firepower, while the latter is cheap to maintain.) With Haguros Kai Ni introduction, it might be the dawn for the CAs.
