+1 considering all we have is Vanguard which is pretty much a just a upgraded Hood facing of against Yamato, Iowa, and Soyuz.

Completely agree, it would also allow for more nations to get their ~70,000 ton battleships obviously including the late lion class designs, realistic H class designs, the Montana class, UP.41 project(super littorio) and well we already have the sovetsky Soyuz(given that this is already unrealistic for soviet industry project 24 should never be added) and Yamato(the super Yamato is just too ridiculous to add as it had 51cm guns and weighed 75,000 tons along side a similarly with the Soviets if not having the recourses to build it)
But still has those ‘cheek’ and 51 cm gun is lower on number and fire rate.
My personal suggestion would be to add HMS lion at 8.7 as the 16E-38 variant with the following characteristics:
Dimensions: 259,08m(wl) x 33,53m x 10,72m
Displacement: 48.500tons (Standard), 55.000tons (full load)
Engines: 120.000shp Parsons Steam Turbines
Speed: 48-50km/h (26-27knots)
Range: 26.000km at 18-19km/h (14000nm at 10knots)
Armour: 124mm, Deck over machinery and 149mm over magazines, 348mm Belt over machinery and 374mm over magazines.
Armaments:
4x3 16"/45 (406mm/45) BL Mk II Cannons,
8x2 5,25"/50 (133mm/50) QF Mk I DP-AA Guns,
4x8 40mm/39 Pom-Pom AA Guns
possible 2-4-8x4 12,7mm MG Mk III AA Guns.
2-4x Floatplanes (I’ve chosen Supermarine Sea Otter)
Sensor suite:
1x Type 79 Air-search Radar on the aft mast
1x Type 273 Surface search Radar on the mainmast above the forward secondary director
2x Type 281 Air-warning Radar on top of the aft mast
4x Type 282 Fire-control Radar sets one for each Pom-Pom director
3x Type 284 Fire-control Radar on the main armament director/rangefinders
4x Type 285 Fire-control Radar sets one for each secondary armament director/rangefinder
2x Type 290 Air-warning Radar on top of the masts

I mean true but it’s more comparable to HMS incomparable rather than any late super battleship

Surely you can’t be serious?
Well in terms of gun calibre the only other ships that match it are the H-42+ German ships and and the HMS incomparable. In terms of armour there would be plenty of ships to match it but in armament it’s just ridiculous
And also for their time periods the incomparable was just as ridiculously massive as the super Yamato was at its time
