Does the Chapayev have any advantage whatsoever over the Kutuzov?

It has radar.

Meanwhile Minotaur is fine. Since it's not Japanese, they're permitted to be good at something.

Shooting at a Minotaur in a BB takes 80%+ of it's hp nearly every time.  Shooting at a Zao in a USN BB, looks like this overpen x3, bounce x3.  

 

Also, a Minotaur does almost zero damage to an angled BB at range, wiggle back and forth a little and it gets a ton of bounces and misses since it has a slow shell speed.

 

A Zao shooting at an angled BB does 9-10k HE damage a salvo and starts two fires.  Plus, it has railguns so even at longer ranges you're not dodging in a BB, or even a CA or DD really.

 

Minotaur is sort of like a T10 Atlanta, it can be very strong in some situations and it's very bad in others.  Zao is just plain good at everything.  Incredible torps, stealth, HE, good AP, incredibly troll armor, stealth fire.  Yeah, it does need a couple nerfs. It's big "weakness" is it doesn't have radar.

 

Also Chappy much balance Comrade, perhaps need only small buff.

It also has the least HP and the worst AA, as well as the least AP DPM and the second worst HE DPM. I played her on the PTS, and personally, while the ship is good, I don't think it's overpowered either.
