Except that:

- Gangut DVA has 90 FP, which is notably less than Iowa's 115 (unless I'm missing something here). Yasen damage is based on FP+Torp, which Gangut only tops out because she has a non-zero torp-stat (something that only Bismark Drei and Gangut even have)

- I said Nagato K2 outguns Iowa. This is a specific annotation because this is a K2 upgrade vs. Kai. Further, as I mentioned before, Nagato's K2 upgrade is a 'what-if' assessment. Please do not cherry-pick my statements in an effort to build your arguement.

- I was not taking equipment bonuses into account, because, frankly, I don't feel like going through the trouble of calculating *all* of the benefits that Nagato's gear has vs. Iowa's gear. Especially since gear isn't locked to any given ship. ...but if you want to talk gear, then you may want to take a look at the overweight penalty table. Nagato K2 gets +5 if she's carrying 41cm guns, which translates to +15 in total (+8 for 2x 41cmK guns, +7 for the fit bonus), this is vs. Iowa's +19.6 bonus (+14 for 2x GFCS +5.6 for the fit bonus). Now, I may not be good with numbers, but the last time I checked, 19.6 is larger than 15. As far as firepowr goes, Nagato K2 with 2x 41cmK has a firepower of 162 (118 base +44 for the 2 guns), with Iowa with 2x GFCS having 163 firepower (115 base +48 for the 2 guns).

...again, I maybe my math is wrong, because I'm not good with numbers, but it seems to me that Iowa with max guns still beats Nagato K2 with her best guns...
