Carriers are useless against BB's, the planes are just free xp for you.Their torps are easy to dodge and most of the time do minimal damage. The destroyers are a real problem though, if you want to get closer to islands. You need to stick to open seas to have room to maneuver and avoid getting torped by some DD appearing behind smoke or island.

Well if a tier 5 ship like Kongo has 55K hp, it's pretty normal to do at least that much damage in a battle. I've slowly learned to aim better and most importantly, get closer. Many players aren't that good at aiming yet so it's relatively safe to get close so you can get the big hits (instakilling destroyers, at least wrecking cruisers really badly etc.) in easier. It's not that uncommon to do 15-20k to another battleship from 5km away with good aiming and luck.
