Bumping Akitsuki up to CL?

Would it affect performance or mission a great deal if I changed the designation of the Akitsuki class from DD to CL? For example, if a CL has depth charges will it still use them against subs just like a DD will?
Thanks.

Yes, it will still use the depth charges. I have had the Atagos attack subs.

I'm not 100% sure though I believe depth charge equipped cruisers can't be in ASW task forces. They will attack subs in any other type of TF they are in if a sub is detected.

You can't use CL's in an ASW task force.
What was the reason for the change?

In that case I'll leave well enough alone. No pressing reason for the change. Just liked the idea of classifying the Akizukis as CLs. [:)]
