Yes, the 3.9 inch guns on the Akizukis were probably the best AA guns mounted on any IJN ship in the war, They should be firing on planes.

But then it's also notable that there were no Akizukis present at the Battle of Midway either. The first of the class being commissioned at Maizuru later that same month. I guess it's possible that it's substituting for another class given the developers shorted the Japanese a few destroyers.
