BBs' advantages are almost all nullified in night battles:


 * No second shelling phase


 * Range isn't used so their first strike ability is lost


 * The primacy of their high firepower is countered by other ships adding their Torpedo score to damage.  This also means that formation multipliers affect Battleships far more than other ships in Night Battles, since formation multipliers only affect Firepower, not Torpedo power.


 * Lower Evasion coupled with approximately double enemy attack power means that their primary defense, Armor, is less valuable.

Though it sounds like OP is saying that they're nerfed in night battles due to the recent changes. Which they only are if you're using 3 46cms on Kongou.
