Actually, they play fairly similarly. There's not a huge amount of health behind the armor, so the KGV goes down fairly quickly. There's room for more armor, but most fatal hits seem to fall on the middle part, which still gets penetrated even at maximum thickness. I may reduce the armor at the ends and play it like a battlecruiser, though I'm not really sure.

Also, do not use the 14" guns. They lack the range to be an effective weapon in PvP, and I got sunk by other ships with better range before even getting off a shot. The 16" MK I is lighter anyways, so it actually helps armor to use the older gun.

One more thing: do not expect this to be a means to grind REXP, even with camo the gain rate is at best, 13%.
