Allied ships were not a "promise" though.

And I hope Shinano gets here sooner, she was completed (I mean, as a ship girl) by October 2013, according to official twitter. I don't necessarily mean a literal promise. But everything they said they wanted to add will get added eventually.

USN torpedos were just as good as other Western torpedos after they got fixed, examplified in the multiple victories in night time engagments against the IJN during 1943 and 1944. So the US DDs would probably be average like those of the Italians and Germans, unless the historic number of torpedo tubes also effect the stat too, which could boost them a bit. I would chalk it up to improving USN tactics though. Also how long did it take to catch up to Japanese torpedoes?

The historic number of torpedo tubes would affect the stat too. Shimakaze had more torps than the average DD. Akizuki-class had fewer torps than the classes before them.
