For all people wank about the yamato class if it is ever added for all of its raw size the technical and material superiority of the US at the time meant the smaller and faster Iowa class will be a match for it while having much better anti air defence. In the future as we move from the WW1 and interwar battleships currently ingame towards actual WW2 era battleships they should get some genuine contenders though dont expect them to ever be truly top tier. This is also where the japanese failure to develop or equip their ships with truly effective anti air defense is really going to bite you as you are no longer agile enough to get out of the way of incoming ordinance. Though the cruisers do often come with the aforementioned type 93s compared to much more agile destroyers they will have a much harder time deploying them effectively and mostly just serve as an ammo detonation waiting to happen.

Now personally destroyers are my happy place and i dont generally play japan above that (which nicely matches up with the BRs of most of japans WW2 naval aviation for those who actually like the history like myself) but in cruiser design they tend to have all the firepower to match their counterparts but much less armour than the real monsters like the German admiral hipper, US brooklyn etc.

The akizuke class is more than a match for any other destroyer in the game in a gunfight and most of the later destroyers, even if not as well gunned carry type 93 torpedoes which are bar none the best torpedo of WW2 making them a threat to even much larger ships if they are not careful. For reference even their own officers during WW2 considered their small boats to be garbage, they really come into their own with destroyers however.

Japan is worth playing within certain bounds.
