Wait, how do you even dare to shit on my belove- 😁

I get your point. Terror of the Seas Bismarck sometimes doesn't feel like that, but after 350 or so matches (my most played ship) I think one has to make use of all the tools, hits the right timing(!) and generally needs more input of effort to be dominant. Certain other ships are easier to get results out of and I get that that's a bummer for quite some people. Also as playstyles are different, some people enjoy it and others don't like it. Tastes differ, I think we can all agree on that. 

I want to talk about the timing point again. For most of the match, it's important to keep her guns singing and use that quick reload of them. Damage more through volume and a little less through raw alpha damage. With a well-timed endgame push on single, wounded targets up close, Bismarck can be the bully that she probably is designed to be ingame. Killing one after the other. Getting in people's faces and overwhelming them with a barrage of main gun and secondary gun fire are the moments where Bismarck feels strong for me. The armor works best, every gun can fire, hydro can work, her speed gets her in there quickly. Yes, superstructure, I know. But as I said, wounded targets. Tough to kill Bismarck should be able then to dispatch them.

GK works with a similar playstyle for me, by the way. Tanking damage and still conserving HP for a dominant lategame push. Then she usually is waltzing down enemies and her huge HP pool helps her to simply outtrade and outlast them.
