Unconvinced as some may be, this is how the Japanese wiki explains Kasumi K2B now. We have to find a way to explain why K2C is missing anyway.

Type B means "Fleet AA Destroyers" (hence Akizuki), while Type D means "simplefied wartime destroyers". So even though Kasumi K2B uses Matsu's armament, it won't make her a Type D. Another charactersitics of Type D would be focusing on Tokyo express (as Matsu-class carried two Shouhatsus to fulfill this role, Asashio also spent most of her time doing this, while Kasumi never did.) and probably capable of carrying midget submarines (as Matsu-class carried Kaitens, which would be replaced by Ko-Hyoutekis in this game). Without a source of any kind what people on the Japanese wiki say is in no way more authoritative than what anyone else could say.

Ahem, you do remember that Kasumi K2B neverthless can carry all kind of Daihatsu plus the Type 2 amphibious tanks, right?
