1. Allied ships boasting their accomplishments vs. IJN ships doing the same

Hiryu boasts Tomonaga's famous telegraph "Kawa, kawa, kawa".

Iowa has a line referring to attack on Pearl Harbor. (Although she wasn't even launched, let alone commissioned then)

I would say that the girls don't give a damn.

2. Foreign ships OP

The devs know it, and they are on it. They nerfed U-511 before she becomes Ro-500 for this purpose, as well as nerfing the better FuMo Radar from Prinz. They will handle it.

3. "I don't see why the US ships have to be modest or apologetic to avoid stepping on anyone's toes when the Japanese ships clearly don't care enough to do the same."

Bro, the Japs are doing far more than that. Kitakami and I-58 had to strike their colors as being reluctant to carry Kaitens (and even reluctant to spit out the term to begin with), Katsuragi is extremely cautious about her service as a POW ferry post-war, I-8 simply don't mention her history of shooting POWs with her 20mm MG. On the other side, Iowa didn't boast about shelling Japanese coasts as well.

These are all red lines of Japanese ACG industry, as having the slightest touch of "saying yes to war" means having the game, and probably the dev team as well, being banished by the whole damn country.
