Anti-Air AND ASW. Lets not forget these two strengths of the Akizuki class destroyers. Historically they were designed primarily as escort ships for carrier battlegroups to defend them against threats from the air, below water and on the surface vs smaller ships (rapid firing 10cm were perfect for that). And it has been widely accepted that they were the MOST USEFUL class of destroyers fielded by IJN. And the game perfectly represents that. A good fleet needs both fighting type and escort type destroyers. Especially in Combined Fleet using FCF. Who would you rather send escorting a taiha'd ship? A high luck torpedo CI destoyer which you will need against boss or a destroyer specialized in ESCORT and fleet protection? You can see the example of that in the picture above. So no, Teruzuki and Akizuki are NOT trophy destroyers by far. They are a vital component of a combined fleet.
