No, Hansa ships have a advantage.

From the ROE

"In an RP Battle between a Hansa ship and a normal BSC ship of the same class (battleship, destroyer, etc.) it is most likely that the Hansa ship will have the advantage. If there is a Hansa/SWC destroyer fighting a normal BSC battleship in RP however, it is likely the battleship will win. If a SWC battleship goes against a normal BSC ship in RP, they will be equal."
