So I started a new Japanese line to try the Kuma-Nagato ships, and I must say, I was quite impressed with the Kawachi. From the way Harb described it, I was expecting the worst ship on its side of the Courageous BC's.

I found that if you play conservative, stick to its outer range, and generally play it more as a slow heavy cruiser, you can have a good time. You have eight 12" guns per broadside, plus being able to fire six straight forward or back.

The complaints I have with it is, of course, its speed, and its lackluster secondaries.
