That's why the Devs just gave up and are going to group them all as Escort ships. The problem only exists outside Japan, I don't see a single reason for the Japanese Devs to group DEs as Escort ships/Kaiboukans. Besides it doesn't cut them any trouble, because they'll then have to make a torpedo-compatible version of KBs, then why don't you just classify them as destroyers?

That's why DE being introduced as either part of DD or a new subcategory of DD should be considered the only possibility. Yeah because we totally don't have seaplane carriers that have torp stats and those that don't(Looking at at you Teste as well as non-kai Chitoses) right? Then you have Kasumi being able to equip large radars in one of her forms and Abukuma and Yura being able to use mini-submarines. They can always pretend it's a late war configuration with no torpedoes as well.
