most likely, she'd have the attributes of Littorio and Roma: agility and very long range. But the 38 cm quad gun mount had the same dispersion problems as the Italian 381 mm triples due to how they were built, which means same accuracy and EVA drawbacks as the Italian guns. The main gun of the Italian BBs have a shell velocity of 910m/s, the Richelieu's only has 785. The main reason why the Italians have poor accuracy is because the unusually high velocity caused the barrel to be worn out very quickly, a problem Richelieu would most likely not encounter.

BTW, Richelieu had 56x 40mm Bofors and 50x 20mm Oerlikons, that's some very serious AA fire, I would say.
