That's a good question. Kagerou and Yuugumo class have stats that are only a few points higher than the rest of the non K2 ships, I'm not sure what kind of leaps of logic are required for anyone to consider that "high preforming" but they are clearly average. There are enough usefull DD's between the K2's, Shimakaze,Yukikaze and either of the zuki's that even in heavy shiplocking cases one should not have to look elsewhere for combat worthy DD's.
