Great game but NC Class too weak

I love this game and play it almost everyday. I was very happy to see the addition of the North Carolina class but after playing it for a few days it is far too easy to sink to be useful. It appears to be the weakest battleship in the game and this is not accurate. In reality, the 16" guns and super heavy AP shells fired by the NC should be by far the most powerful in the game and would shred a Bismarck at will. As well, the ship tends to blow up and sink at an alarming rate which does not reflect the armour protection qualities of the actual ship. The NC should be a formidable opponent for Bismarck and that is not reflected in the actual game play. Can you please consider making the NC a bit tougher to better reflect the true ship characteristics. I cant wait until you add the South Dakotas and Iowas to this game as well. Thanks for such a great game.
