I'm still only in 1915, but even with 15" unlocked I'm still putting 12"/+1 on my new-build BBs. Their range and pen are basically equal, their rate of fire is way higher, and they weigh like half as much. Yeah, there's fewer modernization options down the line, and the damage per hit is lower, but I can put basically a whole extra turret on. It's hard to say no to that. Given the choice between 12"/+1, 13"/0, 14"/-1, and 15"/-1, I'll stick with the 12". You can always try to fit your 12in guns in triples where possible so that they can be Up-gunned to 15in doubles by the time 12in is way too underpowered. Since with low caliber guns you likely want more barrels to begin with. I think that penetration was changed from RTW1 to RTW2. I am not speaking about how armour work, but in RTW2 penetration of Q-1 gun one caliber higher than Q0 caliber is quite worse. In RTW penetration was quite similar so it have still some sense to put higher caliber gun, in RTW2 the decision is quite easy stick with smaller but better quality gun.
Right now in 1915 I have penetration to 10.000 yards: 11" Q0: 9.191/0.91 12" Q-1: 8.827/0.91 13" Q0: 11.83/1.092 14" Q0: 13.104/1.092 15" Q-1: 12.376/1.183 16" Q0: 14.105/1.547
For comparison RTW1 in 1921 to 12.000 yards: 11" Q0: 10.9/1.4 12" Q0: 12.2/1.6 13" Q-1: 13.2/1.7 (penetration still better) 14" Q-1: 14.9/1.7 15" Q0 : 17.5/1.9 16" Q0: 19.3/1.9
