German warship design without the Versailles gap

How might German warship design differ if Versailles had not interrupted construction?

More design generations would probably produce better-balanced ships, though rival navies would gain their own additional iterations.

Continuous interwar construction would give German designers more opportunities to test and correct their work. Later ships would therefore be more balanced than designs produced after a long enforced gap. The advantage would not exist in isolation, because removing wider treaty limits could also let the Royal Navy and U.S. Navy build additional generations. Institutional learning and repeated construction are important parts of naval design quality.
