It is plain that the author of this thread does not know how to play this ship and the fact it outguns everything up to and including tier 6. Toe to toe I can take on and beat a new mexico (T6) BB. It has only one weakness is ZERO AA making it a prime target of CV's. Other then that I got read of most of my low tier BB's and only use this. It also has as a perk all modules (even the ones for T9 and 10) and thus way way more options then any other BB of her tier. Again I will state it you need to learn how to play it. Here are a two wins and a loss.
