Welp, I revoke that statement about this ship being bad. The 7.1" actually have abseen elevation height(60 degrees), their actual range is ~260, rather than the shown ~230. They actually have a pretty good chunk of health behind the armor(it took basically the equivalent of 2 full salvos from a KGV with 12 14" guns(a couple missed, of course, but still, any cruiser that can take THAT much punishment with only 6" belt and 5" deck deserves some kind of respect), which I found out in versus FYI), and while they are sluggish when it comes to speed, it's really agile in terms of turning and acceleration.
