it does. Alsace actually have less range than the H39 (which have monty range).
Its needed tough, with that firepower (especially on the front), size, speed, lower angle on the guns and AA, it just CANNOT have a range advantage.
Monty shine in the hand of a ninja playstyle guy, as he needs only a shot do nuke someone.
Anyone good at dodging will also be dangerous with that ship as he will dodge the incoming salvo, find itself in range, release a salvo, and dodge out. I did it quite often, and unless its a really good BB player in front, its a ow darn you sunk situation for him.
Nebby is however a class apart.
Basically, its back to iowa balance wise. If you play it good, you'll always have something to rely on vs other BB6, weither its range (vs amagi and QV) or speed and damage (vs kaiser). Sport the 2nd best range in the game, regular spread, good firepower (50k salvo about) and a great turnrate if you are decent at dodging, you'll love it.
R slot size aren't really a reference since the BB34 patch since change in the BB3s forced them to up the R slot size of some, thus having to increase the R slot of BB4 to avoid the BB3s to access BB4 guns, and then up the size of BB5 to avoid BB4 using the BB5 guns.
BB6 didnt get a buff on the R slot, cuz its uneeded. Their main guns aint availaible in the buy list, rather they come with the hull, so no risk of BB5 using them.
Gosh 4x triple 18" monty xD i wish :P
