Can you be more specific?

Do you want to know how to counter an RM BB with a KM BB? If so, see the reply above. There is no way.

Now, somebody is goin to come in here and tell you that there is a theoretical way to defeat an RM BB of the same lvl with a KM BB. They're going to cite some test and perhpas post a video that was done with the intent of proving a desired result.  We all know this, but in the practical world, you've got to hope the map is big enough for him to chase you until you've killed him. That is it.

My point is whih is overall more biginer friendly. They both has the same PBB which i think is cool. I only like the PBB but i want to think ahead right now.

I have both nations BBs, but RM is quite new so I have commnets yet.

About KM: Run and try to hit something, that´s it. And reach H44 BB to have a nice AA ships.

In higher levels KM BBs are a little slower than others, weak, bad spread and low shell DMG.
You can face BB´s from UK, US, SN,and MN if you have a good AA/FPs cover.
If you don´t, move until are safe to shoot.

KM is arguably the most difficult nation at higher tiers. It used to be at ALL BB tiers, but you have excellent BB2-3 nowadays. For the others though, it's very much about maximizing a benefit that many find miniscule, and thus requires a very skilled player to even see. That benefit is their range advantage, which is usually just a few millimeters at normal zoom.
It can be powerful if well used, but higher KM BBs are also cursed with poor durability, average to below average speed, and a combination of fewer guns, poorer shell damage, poorer armor penetration, and worse spread than almost all contemporaries, leaving them far inferior in both dealing and receiving damage to anyone else. KM ships are also usually huge targets.
To play KM effectively, you need to learn advanced techniques like slingshotting, as well as advanced situational awareness and a high level of patience. KM BB4/5/6 cannot really play that aggressively, as charging an opponent completely negates their only real advantage. You also need to learn AA. This is partially to blind opposing BBs, but as much because KM are popular bomber targets for enemy CVs (due to lack of durability) and often left to fend for themselves by friendly ones (because many think good AA makes fighter cover redundant). However, most KM BBs have do have excellent close to mid-range AA.

I have little experience with RM, but at present, I'd say it's much more user friendly. Lower angles at most BB tiers make aiming easier, and their high number of guns with good rate of fire help negate lower spread and individual shell damage. In general, many play much closer to the Andrea Doria, while the only KM ones that really do so are the O-Project II and the EBB3 based on it. RM supports a much more aggressive playing style where they can rush in and use the easier angles and high firepower to devastate almost anyone. However, there may be some more nerfing ahead for several ships, so I'm cautious.

For a new player, RM is probably going to be much easier, while anyone who learns to play KM well will find they can adapt to most other nations with ease.

KM was my first BB line and I agree with the comments above, it's definitely a very difficult line, extremely frustrating as a first BB line.  KM has very weak armor, the H44 can be 1 shot by nearly every BB6, shell damage is weak, the Kaiser is a great ship but getting it was the worst grind of all time.

I have started using RM and it is much more user friendly in every way.  They have great reload gunners, better ship armor and turning.  The only drawback to RM I have seen is that the bullet spread is wider but it makes up for it with high shell damage.

RM - Rush
KM - Run

KM has the amazing combination of low salvo damage poor spread and large size that leaves it pretty much with no choice other than run when rushed.

Put the OPRO trips on the H44 and armor that ship up!

KM is awesome.

If you want to have a little bit of an easier grind as a beginner, RM might be better. But in the end, a well-played KM BB outmatches any RM BB (at all BB tiers).

btw everyone telling you KM=Run is a noob.
If you play like that with KM you will lose. Maybe you can play like that with USN,IJN,MN or SN, if you do that with KM you will fail. KM especially H44 is all about beeing constantly at the frontline and slinging. If someone is really doing a big rush, act like you are about to run but do a counter rush.
Easier is RM, no doubt since you are 80% of the time away from frontline and look for openings to rush in. While as KM player you are constantly at the frontline and always need overview of whats going on.

My first was KM and i don't regret it. Its still my favorite nation. (Have KM,USN,RM bb6; MN+IJN bb5; SN bb4)
