Just from looking at a few points you're trying to make I can now see where you're coming from in deciding what is useless and what is not. As such I apologize as I failed to recognize that your criteria for usefullness is on the level of saying a fish is useless because it can't climb a tree. Also your knowledge of the mechanics seems to be a little problematic.

Anyway just to deconstruct some of the things you said in "There are enough rather useless equipments in kancolle, like flying boat, italian BB guns or duplex radar" because i don't have time to bother with the rest

Flying Boat; You seem to undervalue the value of contact. Admittedbly while you wouldn't bring Akitsushima to E7 (which seems to be what you're basing your judging criteria on), you can still use her to trigger contact for more favourable battle engagements in 6-3. In the event that you can't afford to use a carrier scout such as in E5, the boat (and Akitsushima's favourable branching) is your go to equipment for contact. (I personally didn't have this issue because i used Unryuu with a Saiun)

Italian BB Guns; Just a few fast facts. 1. They are upgradable. 2. They give fit gun bonus to Nagato-class, Fusou-class and Ise-class. (Neutral fit to Bismarck) 3. Fusou-class, Ise-class does not get fit gun bonus from 41cms. 4. They give Extra-long range (a subpar point) Morale of story? These guns are THE guns for Fusou-class Kai Nis. The power of 41cms with a fit gun bonus to overthrow the -1 accuracy into a better position than 41cms of similar upgrade

Duplex Radar; You don't always have to bring AP Shells you know. It isn't the go to build. If you were to farm an event map on Easy, a DA set up is better than having a risk of CI on BBs. You've already said yourself that you love it but you still call it "useless"? Anyway outside of your E7 judging criteria (or sorties), it's also a great radar for your support expedition BBs.

If you stop judging everything on "Is it useful in E7?", then maybe you'll learn to appreciate the utility of some things. Kancolle is a game about the depth of your fleet and it's ability in different situations, not just about your "A" Team of 6 or 12 ships to clear the hardest map of the event.
