According to [http://navweaps.com/Weapons/WNJAP_61-60_3ns.htm here], the ''Mogami''-class and eventually the ''Tone''-class were supposed to have the gun, but when the practical use was seen in ''Yamato''-class and Oyodo, it then remained as part of the battleship's main weaponry. One factor for the gun design change was that the gun was supposed to have an additional 75 degrees for AA firing on top of the main 45 degrees for general firing, but this was switched to +55 degrees for the reasoning that it was too inefficient.

The "Achilles' heel" portion refers to the relatively inferior armor thickness of the turret part, albeit being colossally improved compared to casemate guns of other Japanese battleships (Fuso-class to Nagato-class).
