Possibly.
But compare the British BCs to the German BCs, like the Seydlitz. The Seydlitz was shot to hell at Jutland but sailed back to port under its own power.
The Germans knew how to make ships as close to unsinkable as was ever humanly possible.
The Germans did build them tough. Don’t know if you have read “The Rules of the Game”, it is a tremendous read about Jutland and the culture of British naval command.
I think in that book there is also discussion that the British AP shell was not as effective as the German, that they used poor quality control in their proofing of shell lots.
German optical sighting equipment was outstanding as well, their shooting tended to be much better than the Royal Navy.
