Ie: Anybody that wasn't playing in early 2013 is never going to see a Shinden Kai in their inventory. The Iowa gun isn't that kind of head and shoulders outclass, but there's precedent for holding things out indefinitely. Well considering it from that perspective, Kancolle's expectations were beyond what Kadokawa and DMM had possibily imagined when it first began, some pieces of equipment such as the Reppuu (there's a Land-based Interceptor of the original also, even though this one is common equipment), Reppuu Kai (it's a Land-based Interceptor),  Shinden Kai (it's a Jet-powered Interceptor/fighter?) , 53cm Hull-mount (Oxygen) Torpedoes (it isn't submarine exclusive weapon and the new Sub CI doesn't make use of them) and Prototype 51cm Twin Cannon (standard weapon of the Kai/Super Yamato-class) have some problems fitting in (of course the game isn't a 100% historical representation), but unlike other equipment where you can tweak the stats a bit, these require more extensive work, reviews and new ship or ship remodel implementations and then there's the TTK who worked their a$#*s off to get these and seeing the dynamics of these pieces of equipemnt changed isn't one of those things that are welcomed in games.

In other words, its complicated.
