IJN ships weren't bad. They had a clear number disadvantage, so they strived to go for quality over quantity. They managed to steamroll the allies in south east asia for 6 months before the USN was finally able to field fleets in the pacific.

IJN ships were quite bad at ASW and AA, because they built their ships around WW1 ideas and husband' BB for theoretical decisive battles over CV and SS that were needed for securing their shipping lanes and raiding enemy supply ships.

You should be happy you only have to fight 6 ships at once. USN churned out a ridiculous tonnage of ships in WW2, and if the devs wanted to troll us, well they can throw in the entire fleet at Surigao strait at once.
