You aren't going to be reliably winning knife fights with the USN with just guns. Though take this with a grain of salt, none of these IJN DDs sans the Akizuki are real gunboats. Fubuki and Akatsuki both are Special Type Destroyers, fast heavy fleet units built to operate with heavy cruisers, while the Akizuki was conceived to be a fleet escort/AA boat.

Having Fubuki> Akatsuki> Akizuki also represents a better progression. These all represent an unbroken line of development of the IJN's torpedo destroyer concept with each a refinement of the predecessor. (PLZ not nerfs, how better turret traverse instead? k thanx) Historically and gameplay wise Hatsuharu> Shiratsuyu> Kagerō> Yūgumo> Shimakaze would be the logical progression of destroyers.

Word on the grapevine is WG is going to be doing some tweaks to them in the near future, hopefully that means restructuring the trees more sensibly and not nerfs. Right now the tiers VI and VII are setup where the ships that are more geared towards stealthy torping are in the Akizuki line while the more aggressive Special Types are leading to the Shima. Currently you have the main line ending in the Shima who has torpedoes akimbo and a sub branch that ends in Akizuki which happens to be a gunslinger. That one line is "torp boats" and the other "gun" is a bit of a misnomer.
