Richelieu is actually quite strong. She has fairly high health, better armour than the rest of the FBBs, and while her firepower stat initially looks low, the 38cm Quad Kai has a very good firepower stat, accuracy, and adds additional armor. She'll likely get a fit bonus of around +4 from it. It immediately makes up for her apparent shortcomings.

Base AA doesn't really matter very much (AA from equipment is far more important) and her guns don't reduce her range - range is always based on the longest from either the ship or the gun, and her base range is long.
