Furious is far and away the worst PCA, lagging behind the Asama, the SN PCA, MN PCA, Pensacola and Moltke in that order.
"Its long slenderness enables you to dodge shells efficiently, and it maintains a good speed"
It is that size and its inbuilt fragility that make it an easy kill for me. Twice the hit area of Moltke, SN or MN PCA. And one hit cripples, second kills. Not so the other PCA.
AA is a MAJOR problem. It can be used as AA ship, but you get far better results in an Emerald running AA, it can carry more ammo (and yes I know RN AA is not good, but at least the T-slot space on the Furious could match the Emerald in size)
I have run Furious with level 83 Reload and 120 Acc gunners on the main guns. Spread is STILL worse than any of my other PCA. Great with the shell damage WHEN you hit something, but I prefer skill to luck. If I miss I can call myself an idiot. If I miss in Furious, I call the ship "broken"
And anyone who has classed AA gunners below level 100 in RN just to use PomPoms has wasted their crew for later levels. 10/12 Armourment crew levelled to 106 will just hit the reload cap, AA gunners classed as any AA below level 90 will never hit the reload cap.
