Majority of the ships in World of Warships are real, though obviously the Tier X ships are mostly paper ships since only a handful navies had ever actually built their top-tier ships. USN had built all three of them, while IJN had built two out of three (Shinano was not seaworthy and unlikely to ever be, while Hakuryu was never built because they needed more carriers so desperately).

Ooyodo was a light cruiser without torpedoes, in stark contrast to all other IJN cruisers. Takao was replaced by Myoukou and rebranded as Atago because she is somewhat overpowered. As for Tone, I'd imagine they're holding back some of the famous ships so they could sell them as premium ships sometime later, therefore giving way to the paper ships which WG thought would be more interesting to have.

Their torpedoes were fixed in 1944, so logically Fletcher-class at Kai should have torpedo stats comparable to Libeccio with their twin quint torpedoes tubes.
