I have quoted the only negative reply from the Japanese wikiwiki page on the gun thread, basicly they are generally looking forward to the introduction of Iowa-class. As in general terms, they might be far more open-minded to Allied ships than we are.

Those who strongly express their disgust, on the other hand, are often accused of being "pre-war rightist" in the Japanese community. (note: in Japan, pre- and post-war rightists are different things, as the prior is more often accused of being reluctant of reflecting Japan's behavior during and before WWII) The same sentiment seems prevalent among the Chinese fanbase too, or at least that's what I see from the posts in the gamers.com.tw forum (aka 巴哈). Though to be fair, one would normally expect the Japanese to have a more rigorous response than everyone else.
