If I were to "reconstruct" that ship (say, for a hypothetical WoWS' better analogue), I would most likely made it just an improved Ibuki. Same overall arrangement, but better armor, quintuple torpedo tubes, 100mm DP guns, new FCS and radars... you get it. Maybe even new main guns (203mm/55 ones that were contemplated in 1930s).Maybe I would even give it three or four triple turrets instead of five twins, but that would be an extra layer of "what-if" on an already speculative design.[rant] Also, I definitely wouldn't place the torpedo tubes as WoWS did it, because Zao's torpedo launch angles are PAIN [/rant]
