Some other points to consider :) :

- They also take less time to produce and upgrades are cheaper than BBs.

- They can help DDs to hunt/defend against subs: better cost same sub attack as BBs.

(plus they have 15% demoralization DDs don't have)

- They have a strategic attack value: less than BBs 1 to 2 but DDs have none.

(so they can reduce ports and coastal ressources out of bombers range)

- They have the same air defense (2) and nearly same carrier defense (2 to 3) as BBs.

- They have the same air attack (1) as BBs (good to pound air units on islands).

- They can be used as "static" defenses to block/defend some locations.

(ports/straits... DDs are busy with subs and you want to keep your BBs together)

- On hard builds, the bigger pool of cruisers made them made them worth it just for numbers and most neutrals you can ally with will also have cruisers (Sweden, Spain, Turkey...).

- So overall, you need them because it's easier to sacrifice them and can be used for everything (raiding, escort, recon, ambush, land shelling...). They are medium/multi-purpose units, no outstanding advantage but no true weak spot either.

Hope it will help !
