A BC firing on another BC with long range torpedoes has a 64% chance of damaging it and a 10% chance of destroying it.
Since TBs have a 47% chance of damaging a BC with long range torpedos I don't think I'd use many BCs.
A CS costs one less than a BC and has a 53% chance of causing damage at long range with only a 23% chance of being damaged itself.

yeah, basically, a BC is an attempt to build the smallest ship possible that can still mount the biggest guns; they generally can maim/kill a battleship, and didn't cost as much. Very specialized. Of course, the theory of the day was that they could outrun battleships, and dodge shells, but they were introduced just as gunnery was getting good, and we found out that nothing beats being able to shrug off a 16" shell...
