Now, admittedly, there >are commander-skills around that, as well as others that improve the >6"-and-under guns, but... The crew-skill (well, captain skill, same difference) in question is Expert Marksman (2nd row), which gives a 2.5deg/sec buff to 155mm (6") and below, and 0.7deg/sec for larger guns. In Mogami's case, this brings the 6" down to 30secs, and the 8" to 26.8, both of which are pretty good. However, there are two other notable skills for 6"-and-smaller guns, one in the 2nd row for 10% better rate of fire, and one in the 4th row for 20% better range. So, in Mogamin's case at least, it's a pretty legitimate choice between the two guns, though I don't know offhand of any other ship where it's not an automatic "bigger is better". Personally, once I finally get there I'll be configuring her in the 6" setup, simply because it's something new and different than yet another 8"-armed pocket battleship.
