Even if the devs were willing to have foreign equipment have such blatant superiority, hiding it behind a ship that has a notoriously low drop-rate and event appearance is not good business.

Note - the Iowa Guns are mitigated by Fit/Weight penalties imposed on anybody other than Iowa. It wouldn't create a blantant superiority at all, it would make the gun useful to begin with. Right now there is literally no reason at all since it has pretty much the same stats as the 20.3 #3 without being upgradable.

Also even if it would actually turn into something superior, they are still MUCH harder to get than a regular 20.3#3.

Also take in mind that all non Japanese equipment usually takes large amounts of screws to upgrade, so the compensation would already be there.

Point is there is liiterally no reason to use Purins own guns on her over an upgraded 20.3#3 which you can btw mass produce.
