Hi! Once again, your shooting practice won´t help as much as you believe. Before Skaggerak the british BC force had some practice and it still did not help them very much! During the first part of the BC battle, 1. Scouting sunk 2 british BC, damaged 2 others heavily and got only a few minor hits!
And before you come with the QEs: With the arrival of the QEs, Hipper was outnumbered 8:5 since 2 BCs already sunk, during the time it was 6:5 against him, the HSF did very well.
Devolved, once more: The reason why here is such a "HSF-worship" is the fact that any time the RN and the HSF met in battle and the odds were halfway equal, the HSF came out better.
Most of your comparisions why the RN did always better lack something. At Falkland, the german ACs fought british BCs, hardly a fair fight.
At Doggerbank and Skaggerak the HSF forces were outnumbered rather badly. So HSF ship losses even with her superior ships were logical.
BUT: As said, any time HSF and RN met on halfway equal terms, like at Coronel or the first BC fight at Jutland, the HSF won with minor damge to her ships.
