Indeed, Tosa-class (i.e. Kaga before being converted into an Aircraft Carrier) was supposed to be a modern take on the BB ideal, being more powerful and armored than Nagato-class, but this will not stop them and most likely Mutsu and Nagato will get a Kai2 sooner or later.

Also note that most recent Kai2 refer to the ship deeds rather than their real life power, that's why Kirishima firepower is so high, and that Fast BB were supposed to be as powerful as a regular BB, but they lacked the extra armor plating, that's why most were used for long range attacks and bombardments. I must agree thou, Kongou-class upgrades are kind of overpowered, all get 41cm cannons and 15.5cm secondary guns, none of these were historically equipped on them, they used the classic 35.6cm cannons, and their firepower and armor gets a huge bump with every upgrade, all they lack atm is a decent HP pool, but they have high enough evasion/armor to compensate.
