I don't think the Kii-class would be on par with Iowa since it looks inferior in terms of speed, armor and AA and the bonus that she could get from her extra barrel could not be enough to surpass Iowa's firepower if we consider that she was built to use those 16inch guns that can fire those Mark 8 super-heavy shells.

For a similar reason it's not that weird (although it may be) that the VV-class out damages the Nagato-class and Kirishima is Kai Ni so that's another matter.

P.S. I'm not an American fan (I'm from the land of Pasta) but the Iowa is for me the best BB ever built (although the Yamato was superior in some aspects).
