@Fearpils: The Kongous were in the game at launch so they predate the overweight penalty. Kongou/Kirishima/Hiei all received Kai-2 before the mechanic was introduced as well - it was introduced in mid 2014 around the same time as Haruna Kai-2, which is why she's equipped with a pair of 35.6cm dazzle camo guns instead.

Their stock gun on their base version is 35.6cm though, which was what @Nicky008 meant I think. That advice doesn't follow for the Fusou and Ise classes though - they come with 35.6cm guns but 41cm doesn't have a penalty.
