Conveniently many groups of girls have only one voice actress between them, so unlike other anime this show doesn't need to worry about salary budget blowouts. VAs get paid by the days worked, not the number of roles they have in the show.

They were fast battleships, only the Kongou and Haruna actually were upgraded into those by the time WWII broke out in the Far East.

When Hiei tried to face an actual battleship, she got demolished but she still did some significant damage. Their equivalent to light battleships if that was an actual warship class, Haruna and Kongou could actually out-run their own carriers meaning they could keep pace and protect them.

Unlike Hiei or Kirishima.

>>118085152
Not really. Kongou and Haruna took out like an entire airfield and destroyed around 40-60 Marine/Army fighters at Henderson.

>>118085152
Their only "shit armed" compared to the heaviest USN battleships, and a certain Kraut BB. Compared to any other Navy their still heavy hitters.

Anyway, battleships are a big waste of moneys. It ain't gonna do shit against a carrier group.

Sure, they got big guns and look good but there's a reason why by the end of the pacific war USN mostly used them for covering marine landings.

>>118085316
That only became apparent in the Pacific War, there was little actual carrier/naval air power used in naval actions in the Atlantic on the European front.

And the battleships are still necessary to protect and screen carriers, just like destroyers are needed to transport troops and anti-submarine roles or cruisers with anti-air missions.

And like the other anon mentioned, the single most successful shelling and naval attack on land or shore was by the Kongou and Haruna shelling the fuck out of Henderson airfield. Which allowed several IJN destroyers to safely disembark thousands of IJA troops, and the whole success behind the Tokyo Express.

is there a guide to be a kuso TTK?

It is exactly the survivability of fast battleships that made them pretty useless as capital ships by the time of the war.

Other roles - as you said they performed pretty well.

Neither the Hiei or the Kirishima were fast battleships or even got upgraded the same way or as extensively as the Kongou and Haruna.

The capability of the former two vs the latter is pretty stark. And that's not how survivability is defined. The Kongou and Yamato still did tremendous damage scattering and taking out USN cruisers and destroyers, the battleship just lost the premiere role as the top class of warship with the advent of naval air power from carriers.

That's not particularly impressive considering they were battlecruisers originally and unlike true battleships, with their upgraded boilers could be classified as FBBs.

I don't want to argue, I just want to know what your source is for this impression you have that the Kongous were not all upgraded. Really, I'm not asking to be a smart-ass, I would like to know.

Hiei never faced a battleship, either. A battleship is practically the only thing that didn't get a shot at Hiei during her final hours. Maybe you're thinking of Kirishima, which is a pretty basic error to make for someone who sounds like an authority.
