A World of Warships ship with sixteen 9.2-inch guns carries a battery well suited to fighting cruisers. Mounting it in a very large ship creates a mismatch between size and intended opponent. The hull becomes an attractive battleship target while its armament remains focused on defeating cruisers. In this game design, adding more cruiser-calibre guns has left a large ship vulnerable to opponents outside its intended role.
