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. I'm not saying it's not actionable, just saying it's not anywhere less problematic. Systematically, yes, they can make every US DE a special version of KB, but how is that less troublesome than introducing them as DD/Real DEs? It's entirely pointless.

And in KC logic, once able to carry torpedo, always able (unless involving change of ship category). Luigi didn't lose her torpedo capability in her supposedly "transport submarine" form. The assumptions you made are merely your daydream, excuses made in hindsight to justify your imaginary bubble of so-called views, as you just can't face the fact that the KB=DE theorists have been proven utterly wrong, and it would be a mercy to not punish them for the damage they've done to the KC community and the historical accuracy of this wiki.
