Most cruisers, carriers, and even the American standard-types combine all their armored deck thicknesses into a single unified citadel armor deck. Then comes the question of whether to combine armored deck thicknesses or not - this is a norm for almost every warship in the game except the high-tier American BBs. Which would mean the most WG can lower her citadel would be to the second armored deck - a sizable reduction in size to be sure since it basically halves the above-water citadel height, but it'll still be above the waterline. Montana has a different issue entirely: while I've seen people claim that she also had a 25mm splinter deck at the waterline, I've yet to see someone like Spud put up proof of that. Alabama's forward magazine splinter deck was buffed to 38mm probably to avoid that issue - as far as I can tell, it never had that level of historical protection. Iowa has a third splinter deck of 15.9mm (25mm over the magazines) just below the waterline like Alabama, however, at 25mm maximum thickness, she may as well not even have her citadel lowered at all when her citadel volume is much larger and maneuverability all-around worse to a massive degree: all battleship-caliber guns will be able to citadel her across the entire length of the citadel, and through the roof in addition to the side now. The research into the armor values is only a fraction it - the real trick is figuring out where and how to draw the line. ![]() 0.6.6, that's what, probably 2-2.5 months away at least?Īs I said in multiple other threads, there are very legitimate reasons why it could take that long.
