A Khaba in the same position would be even more easily deleted due to the armor plates. A Grozo at 12-13.5km would be nearly as annoying as the Khaba. The damage difference isn't insane between the two, Khaba's plating CAN technically bounce AP at some angles, but that particular scenario both ships would be fine at range and both would be deleted at close up.

The thing's basically doubling her rudder shift. If you take rudder shift mod 3 you get 9.7km and are easier to hit at range from losing the 5% dispersion buff. People compare it to cruisers which is accurate but the problem isn't the Khaba, it's visible cruisers are deleted by the overbearing BBs everywhere.

This week alone every t8 queue i've done has been 50-60% BBs. Give your Cruisers some room to breath by taking BBs down a notch already, and you won't really care if a DD is trying to emulate you without all the utility that cruisers bring. Fix CVs and again, DDs take a hit and cruisers become more useful, at least they would be as soon as CVs can drop on non DD targets without losing half their hangar. All you get with witch hunting the Khaba is ruining one of the most actually effective Destroyers in the game, which only leads to more BBs and more deleted cruisers hating the game.
