I could make the 60,000 ton Ger/BB/1915 work with little problem, as well

I thought I would see what happened with a nominally 60,000 ton version of the Ger/BB/1915, as that was what I had originally envisioned. I wasn't able to do 60,000 tons, but I was able to make 61,475 tons work, and still get 23 knots. I had been happy to get 20 knots, so 23 knots is gravy. Remember that this is a ship with 9-18in/45 and 24-5in/50 guns.
