It depends what you mean by freakish, but I think the ship isn't all that great aside from the massive guns. It has only 6 of them, some of the lowest range if not the lowest of all tier 10 BBs, no reliable secondaries, very weak armor, and over 1.1km turning radius. It makes up for all of those things with big guns and good concealment, which is why I agree that it will be a hard ship to play, but definitely not overpowered.
