    Official evaluation

    - First Impression (3/5):

    At first the ship could easily be mistaken for a battlecruiser than a dreadnought, but the added torpedo bulge somewhat compensates for it. The ship handles nicely, even taking the ocean mod mostly well, aiming is not easy however.

    - Design/Accuracy (10/15):

    The ship's design appears to be heavily inspired by the battlecruiser HMS Hood, and while the builder did add a large torpedo bulge, the slim and sleek hull shape of a battlecruiser hull is still apparent.
    Other than this the rest of the design seems to reflect that of a refitted dreadnought/battlecruiser, with increased AA weaponry and aviation facilities amidships.

    - Details (9/15):

    The build has moderate details with things like rigging, a ship's emblem on the funnel and even a flag on the main mast, but the decks lack any kind of small detailing.
    The ship features a simple but nice camouflage as well.

    - Features (12/20):

    The build includes usable main battery and AA guns, as well as a usable AA rocket system which is unique among the entries. The rudder not moving (even if it's just cosmetic) is slightly disappointing

    - Build Quality (7/10):

    The build use some great solutions to reduce part count such as fuselage slicing and also makes extensive use of the label part. Some individual parts such as each AA gun are highly detailed but it seems to me it's done at the expense of other details. For this part count, there could have been more details at other parts of the ship, although the camo does somewhat justify it.

    - Performance (11/20):

    The ship performs quite well on the ocean mod (only a little bit bouncy), the steering is a bit too fast however and is solved using a gyro which takes a bit away from the immersion.
    The 25 knot max speed of the ship is authentic however, sort of compensating the battlecruiser look.
    The turret turning is slightly fast too, although it makes a bit easier aim (some proper aiming camera or something would have been nice though) but takes away from the immersion: should they have been just slightly slower, it would have been a good middle ground between realistically slow but fast enough to be fun.

    - Description and Information (10/15):

    The description is quite nice. It includes a great history section, technical details, a good amount of screenshots (lthough I felt like a one or two more could have been added showing the ship in action) and the controls are lister here too and the whole thing is formatted well.
    Nothing too fancy, it gets the job done well

    Additional Points (-0, +2):

    +2 for the quite detailed ship's badge
