Just wondering, how do you know it's trash? I have played every iteration of the ship even the latest and have found her very fun and very effective.

Well, no disrespect to ANY of our CCs but comments made on a ship when it was to be truthfully honest, upon initial release, quite an over performer, to the last iteration I played where I do/did quite well in it.
To be truthfully honest, I had no problems even when uptiered in her. The thing is, ships like Spee, Scharn, Odin in game are mean't to be cruiser eaters, not necessarily meant for BB->BB fighters. And in that role all three perform very well.
People will have their opinions, either way, I have been and am excited for her to be released!

Overperforming doesn't just apply to guns....
Her AP fuse timing was adjusted earlier, because of the guns overperforming and her HP was reduced as a result as well.
I will tell you my first battle in her, I was uptiered to tier X and at the end of the battle with the original HP pool had over 3.2 million potential damage and that was very common.... for a ship like that that is DEFINITELY over performing, even after the adjustment I was doing very well still.

HP is NOT the only metric that make for viable ship. Armor is taken into account, if I am able to tank 2 million+ on the regular in Odin with the HP we decided to leave her with, I'd say that her HP pool is just fine.
We take into account every aspect of a ship when balancing them and the values we place on those ships reflect that.

You are correct in your summation of potential damage, HOWEVER, as a BB potential damage is VERY important because that means you were a target that was tanking for your team, you weren't making cruisers and DD's be the ones that were getting shot at as you have a RP and many of them do not.
In other words, if I am in a BB all the way in the back and never get shot at, and all my cruisers and DDs die as a result, you didn't help your team as much as may think you have. Potential damage and damage output TOGETHER is a huge factor in which a ship or player can gage whether they did their job. If I have 3 million potential in a ship that players say "has horrible HP and armor" and I survived and dealt quite a bit of damage, then it is a VERY valid metric.
Furthermore, I played A LOT of battles in Oden in all iterations, I assure you, her HP being lowered was NOT as significant as everyone thinks.

Soon(TM)
I mean they should have the ability to tank some damage, I don't know about "massive amounts" because everything fired at your ship will deal damage in a different way. And my point is that a tier VIII, for balance reasons, these changes occurred to her, as a result of data pulled from the testing done to her.

Except she's NOT free and we have said that she is NOT free, first of all.
And again, I will point back to the fact, that you can't exactly judge a ship directly off just her HP. If you have not played her, you can't say she is not a good ship particularly. I have stated several times in multiple topics and I am not the only one, several people that have player her have said the same thing. She is actually a VERY good ship.
