QuoteI dont think that you really need to increase protection as much as speed. that would lead to it being more balanced IMO.

QuoteI think that the additional 4knts makes it a much more well-rounded design, wile still having the high firepower for both hard and soft kills. I think that the additional speed will make it more of a threat in the strategic and tactical areas due to its ability to chase down older battleships and with desent warning via its spotterplanes, be able to potentialy evade faster ships. Overall, a very very capable opponent that I would be very hesitant to go up against in something of the same size range.

I mean that remove the mid turret could give a better balanced BB.
Finaly, Increase speed is a better choice than increase protection.

The armor seems a tad light for a battleship, and the speed is an issue too. It's too fast for the battleship squadron, and would slow down a battlecruiser squadron too much.

Armor is the best you can roll. It is tapering armor, 13.5" at the top. Speed is okay, standard battleship squadron goes at 24 kts.

21 kts is slow actually.

Speedy by historical standards, although looking around it seems only the CSA is using the 21 knot battlesquadron.
