If Ark Performance decides to completely eliminate the fan service and harem elements I'd probably still read it, but at the moment they are present and are part of the storyline. Those are the two main components the author started with new torpedo and beautiful girls, so it's perhaps the aim was to write a story about love in a wartime situation or something to that effect. Well as he said in the author's note of volume one, the entire series was conceived based on the idea of a new torpedo, but then he decided it would be too boring so beautiful girls should be added. Still I enjoyed the story on Aoki, seriously I’m more interested how the USFJ and the glasses guy plan to overthrow the current Japanese’ regime, and how they’re planning to ship the warhead to San Diego. If you see Ark Performance’s fantastic and genious previous works on Gihren Zabi’s Gundam and the more recent Gundam’s Red Wayline (you can look for them, they’re scanlated), their portrayal of the actual storyline are more political, intriguing, interesting characters, sophisticated mechs with zero fanservice. This is like Ark Performance’s being forced to keep up with development of cute girls fanservice + mech formula for the geek world. Imo all the characters, political, and mechanical background being presented in vol 1 and vol 2 were kinda wasted because they’re now focusing on fanservice and the girls oogling over Gunzou. After the battle with Zondark, the series atmosphere suddenly taken an odd turn with the moe and other otaku stuff. The previous fight with the fog fleet and Zondark were was a more decent development on the actual storyline. Gunzou gets less screentime because recently they’ve been focusing more on the fleet chicks fanservice.
