About the accuracy penalty for use of 46cm guns on BB, I have tested it with a FBB (Haruna) with dozens of fights and confirm that there is an accuracy penalty vs the use of 41cm guns. Note that this was performed with a FBB, it may or may not apply to regular BB (Nagato class), BBV (Ise and Fusou class) or heavy BB (Yamato class).

Equipment was 2x 46cm + seaplane + Type 91 AP shell vs 2x 41cm + seaplane + Type 91 AP shell, on both pvp fights and normal sorties, with over 30 fights of each.

The 46cm setup had a significant increase in miss and scratch hits than the 41cm setup, either in Line Ahead and Double Line engagements. Personally, I will use guns no larger than 41cm on my FBB, I'd rather have lower firepower but consistent successful hits than higher firepower but waste it on misses and scratches (specially against those gold Ru class).
