She has 5/11 less firepower than the other BCs with a K2, which barely matters since the "magic number" for the soft cap is 94 for day battles, night battle is irrelevant since your BCs will sink anything short of a boss anyway.

AA is an issue, somewhat, carriers don't deal much damage to heavily armoured ships so it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

Bismarck's 52 LoS>Kongou-class's 49 LoS.

Bismarck's 10 Luck does lose out compared to all other Kongou-class ships, but nothing drastic.

She has 94 whopping HP compared to Kongou ships' 75-83, that's more than Nagato-class and nearly the same as Yamato-class.

Her Armour is 93 vs 89-95, not a big difference here either.

Evasion is 69 vs 69-72, small difference once again.

Bismarck has better plane capacity but, well, nobody really cares about that.

Her consumption's also lower than all the K2 remodels, so her win there.

The major difference between the Kongou-class K2 ships and her are the difference in firepower... which really doesn't mean much. She'll likely blow them all out of the water when she gets her own K2, though consumption will probably take a hit.
