A dual-purpose gun upgrade for the Tribal class

Would the Tribal class have been better with four twin 4.5-inch dual-purpose gun mountings?

Yes; if the mountings could be made to work in the design, that battery would have made the class exceptionally formidable.

A viewer proposes replacing the Tribal class's original battery with four twin 4.5-inch dual-purpose mountings. If those weapons could be made to work in the design, the result would be a particularly formidable destroyer. The suggestion preserves the class's gun-heavy identity while extending the main battery's usefulness against aircraft. It also shows how mounting availability and integration, not simply a desired calibre, constrained interwar destroyer armament.
