If you will compare ships of similar consumption, actually they're better than Furutaka class and are similar to hyper Kinugasa barring HP/armor (Maya has a lot higher ammo consumption what are you smoking). But the thing is they're not comparable with CAs at all, because the two classes have different roles in the fleet in the first place.

I agree that Isuzu trumps Agano class any day, and if you think the +50 ASW from Yuubari's 4th slot justifies the much lower HP/armor then by all means. But that doesn't change the fact that there is an average, and that the Agano class is above average with the cost of paying a little extra to field them.

I'm not even sure why everybody's so up in arms about these girls,  In terms of efficiency Yamato/Musashi has it much worse yet nobody seems to complain why they're treated as elite.
