Nope, H39 max speed is 39 OH.
Also dont forget to put bulge on, just before you lose 1 knot.
H39 is not Capped at 39, it can most certainly do 40. It has been a few months since i have used it outside of FL (do no use AA in FL), however to the best of my recollection (and I can check later tonight) it can still do 40 with AA by sacrificing some bulge.

The range advantage of KM is TINY and not worth the huge loss of shell damage (probably around 20% of the shell damage other nations can caus).
And you will need to land 4-5 salvos on ships to do any damage because your shell damage is completely worthless. I've seen othe rnation BB2-3's caus more damage than H39/H44. It is pathetic.
The range on the H39 is near that of the Monty. In terms of range advantage at tier, H39 is one of the best (outside of Kaiser and bb6's). And if you are saying that the H39 has 20% the hitting power of other nations you are out of your mind. H39 has reasonable hitting power for its Tier. In fact if it was easier to maintain 900 SD and good rep rate with 3-4 other nations sailors on I'd prefer to use it to level other sailors over the L1 or Iowa.
40 Knots OH is solid for a bb4, the aa is fantastic, the range is great (well balanced for its tier), and the damage output is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be when compared to its Tier. Spread is somewhat of a concern with gunners under 100, and the Rep rate isn't as good as UK, but it slings like a beast.
