This, combined with the fact that Abyssals uses imperial units in their equipment names and having radars twice as accurate as our fleet doesn't help their case. Now they decided to drop the bombshells and said "Here, have the 16" gun mk7 as your reward", which implies that the Iowa-class are coming soon.

Now to answer your question, that might be for various reasons. Some of us have been under the misleading impression that the Abyssal Fleet are corrupted spirits of the Allied ships, if not the Allied fleet themselves, or that too many Murican fanboys will go full retard mode and won't settle for anything less of commanding an all-American fleet of shipgirls. And that's before mentioning the Imperial Japan sympathizers from Taiwan, due to reasons explained Thread:381967 here.

Either way, the introduction of that gun had cause a major pandemonium that had basically flipped the community over. Devs has opened the Pandora's box that I had very much preferred to remain closed, or at least be opened slow and steady.
