Nagato is much stronger than Bismarck. Her stats are more comparable to Iowa, but even so Nagato's utility is much stronger with daihatsu tank setups (anti-installation) alongside possible AACI setups. Of course this is limited by her speed, but as of right now Nagato fills in the FP gap between the Yamato class and BB classes as an intemediary.

Nagato can also equip T3, AP shells by default, and this in combo with the daihatsu provides a huge anti-installation bonus, e.g. against DJ hime, though at the sacrifice of day DA.
