How is it too slow? How does it have too short range?
As for the refire, it got changed together with other forward guns, because he previous 1.00 refire or simillar made it rather impossible to fire a shot and then dodge. You had to keep firing to do any damage. Now you can fire do a lot of damage and then dodge to get into new position. So it's actually an advantage. If you want to compare it think about bomber with dual mini vs bomber with SN. Damage per second is actually pretty similar for both, but with minis you have to fire and hit much more, so capships have more opportunities to hit you.
@AoM these cruisers have -40 reverse speed, which makes it for example possible to "outturn" most GBs, simply by reversing. It also makes them perfect for dodging SNs/Mortars and similar.
Last time I saw Leyte.Gulf in a fight he didn't use reverse at all, ever.
