It's not that bad. It's quite fast, it's a good gun set up with great AA. Like all PBBs the spread will probably be unimpressive until you're a little higher and it can be difficult to use until your lines match your range, like with all low level BBs. But all around it's still a good ship, better than the Kongo for sure and whether you like it better than the BB2 of your choice is probably going to depend on how you like the IJN BB2 gun placement.
