@Cordeus  I was expecting this much after I read Wiki because the Tenryuu Class are CL/DD hybrids (Small-Model Cruisers) designed to be flotilla flagships that the IJN had high hopes for but backfired because after they were completed more advance DD's both from the IJN and USN with better design in speed and firepower appeared and took priority, which led to the abandonment of mass producing them and at times even improving them. There was a valid reason for the FP downgrade, as mentioned, they were smaller than normal CL's so that means they need to make sacrifices in exchange for something else and in this case Tatsuta's FP. Even if Tatsuta can carry standard CL guns there wasn't simply enough space on the deck for it once all the AA and ASW upgrades were in place. So it is unfair to be comparing the Tenryuu class to pure CL's much more to CA's imho because the Devs are just portraying the downside to the Small-Model Cruiser design with Tatsuta's and most probably also with Tenryuu's Kai Ni based on their real life counterparts. I'm just glad they gave her bigger luck based from their historical exploits.
