Yeah, this is true. And Bismarck's Drei form getting Tirpitz' torpedoes is another example.

A part of this is poor planning on DMM's part, as it's pretty clear they never expected the game to last this long or get this popular. Otherwise we would've never seen Musashi and Yamato only SIX MONTHS after launch. Even without Kai 2 remodels, they're bonkers.
