I was upset when I first spent my $$$ on the PCA Furious because, as others have said, it sucks at-level. The UK trip 15" spread will always be a bit wild, but it is especially bad AND has a long reload time with at-level crew. You may be better off with trip 8" and lots of armor in a Blitz environment.
Hell, I even ran my Furious as a TW (highest level, x5 launchers). It holds one salvo per launcher, but you get 6 launchers. Good for 15-25K easy in a Blitz.
BUT, if you are just looking to make the jump from County-> Revenge, it is NOT worth it.
The value I got for my $$$ spent on the furious came back when I raised my UK SS/CV lines. At that time, with level 85ish gunners, the extra support slots on the Furious are perfect for leveling pilots or SS crews. The 15"s do significant damage against CA/BC/BB1,2,3 targets and the range isn't too bad either.
