Not necessarily the best long-range gun for nagato class. According to previous tests, the 16in has no fit bonus for nagato class. The 41 proto already hits head-on fp cap in combined fleets for nagato, and the fit bonus is at least the same, if not more, than the +acc from this gun. Therefore the only time this gun would be better than a 41 proto would be in a single fleet during head-on or any time nagato class is chuuha or worse, and the difference would be a measly 1 FP. And since 41 proto is significantly cheaper than this gun, id use the 41 proto.

The only class that actually benefits from this gun is the kongou class. According to previous tests, the 16in is approximately the same overweight penalty as the 41, while this gives 2 more acc than the 41 proto. Although itd lose out in acc compared to the 38s or 35.6 protos, this gun allows even haruna to hit head-on FP cap in CTF, while having more acc than using a 41. If I ever did upgrade the 16in, itd pretty much only be kongous using it.
