@SpootKnight Richelieu shouldn't even be compared to the Kongou-class. They're battlecruisers from the mid 1910's which went through extensive modernization. Richelieu was a contemporary state of the art battleship. It should be better than them (at the cost of higher fuel and ammo consumption), because she was better than them IRL.

Your point about Bismarck isn't wrong, but it's not quite relevant. They screwed up pretty hard with their implementation of Bismarck, and it's probably why Tirpitz hasn't been implemented. Besides,  the fact that Richelieu compares well to a ship implemented 3 years ago isn't really praise worthy.

Since then, it seemed like they had learned their lesson: Littorio, Roma, Iowa and Warspite all have excellent Kai forms (and in the case of Iowa and Warspite, without needing a blueprint). And then out of nowhere comes  Richelieu  with stats that aren't anywhere near representative of the ship's quality. Either they should've required a blueprint and a higher level for her Kai with much better stats or they need to give her a Kai Ni. As she is now, she's rather underwhelming compared to what she should be.

Yes she gets good equipment with her Kai, but it helps your fleet as a whole, not ther in particular.
