Vallejo balance?

Got the vallejo yesterday and love the ship. Just feel that majority of games you end up bottom tier which is fine but does anyone think it needs even just one of radar/sonar/torps or smoke to be a real beast in legendary games. Love the guns but even some short range defense torps would help give a different option especially with lack of spotting. I feel like the skill floor of not great maneuverability and pensacola dev strike potential is the balance for that? What does everyone think? (I also love the aa- T7 matches when you see a Chaklov are a dream) Just interested in what the community think really
