The 5 inch guns on Fuso are grouped with the 152mm instead of with the 25mm guns. Although every Japanese battleship does list the 5 inch guns as being auxiliaries in the description, Fuso is the only Japanese battleship for which they actually are grouped to be targeted alongside the larger secondaries. It seems strange that on every other Japanese capital ship these same guns are grouped with the 25mm guns so that they can be effective anti-air even when using the option for manual and auxiliary caliber shooting with the same button, while on Fuso if you use this option they will be ineffectually firing alongside your main and secondary caliber guns. I’ve been told that this is not a bug, but regardless, it is a balancing issue that unfairly limits Fuso’s anti-air capabilities when compared to other Japanese battleships.
When Fuso first implemented in dev server, 5-inch was originally combined with 25 mm. But bug happened that 5-inch does not automatically loaded after firing just once. Instead of solving those problem while 5-inch is grouped with 25 mm, developers choose ‘easier’ choice to bind 5-inch with 152 mm.
That’s why they don’t consider as bug.
