All stats are listed without crew and upgrade modifiers but with best available modules. The stats are subject to change during the testing.

Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary.

Can you please point them out?

Same can be said about Hindenburg - she also has more damage than Moskva, while having smaller guns, or Zao's shells having more damage than Des Moines, despite being lighter.

Of course, shell damage based on reality, for example, apart from shell weight, which is all-important for HE, raw kinetic energy of the shell is also an important factor is a balance parameter, as is other shell characteristics. But, in the end, shell damage is a balance parameter, and can be changed to allow ships to fit their roles better. And one such example is, of course, german AP shells, which do more damage compared to other nations.
So, I'd like to remind everyone that this stats are, of course, preliminary, and are a starting point for a balancing process - those ships will be tested in several iterations, and only after that they may be deemed ready for the release, and even after that ships can be adjusted to fit better.

Thinnest on the hull. Superstructure has less armor than plating.
