Yeah, in my experience, the Kawachi was a poor offering in the dreadnought category. Probably the strongest offering is the Nassau class or HMS Dreadnought.

As for the jerry cruisers, I quite enjoy the Hipper. The Hipper has gun range, allowing me to tangle with some early dreadnoughts without taking fire, though only mediocre armor performance. The light cruisers had too weird a gun arrangement to really impress me, though I guess they're alright if you're in to that kind of thing.
