it Feel like Tier X more then Tier IX and like BB/CL Hybrid

I personally love fast firing guns and seems that it can be fun to have it on BB hull, but ship is Historical unrealistic 

 

What you think?

Not a CL. People getting light cruiser and heavy cruiser mixed up really grinds my gears.

It wasn't built but it was a viable plan to finish the ship that was in construction.

What I think is its ridiculous, unless they gimmick her up to an unprecedented level she will be a port queen for anyone that gets her

She’s an interesting idea and I can imagine in game she will be a nightmare to dislodge from a defensive position. 
 

As for those who are interested in the history of the concept development:

I hope they do something about the shell speed and give her better accuracy, with BB dispersion and US CA ballistics the range is basically useless unless they do something about it.

 

I really hope they're at least able to figure out that basic detail out before release and not just throw out a really nice looking and interesting but useless port queen yet again.
