Same way everyone else had to kill Scharnhorst, or has to kill Amagi. Also Vanguard’s belt isn’t all that good. You can bleed her through AA bleed and close distance to be able to pen Vanguard. Also you forget that Vanguard will also have issues penetrating Scharnhorst critically.
Now the alternative is you could complain at gaijin for the bullshit performance of turtleback armour? And then perhaps they’d add Bismarck and Tirpitz without an ahistorical buff making them OP?
yeah no clue why they did that but Bismarck and Tirpitz historically speaking where very survivable ships so it makes sense to implement it but not to point of being immortal
For supercharge yes
For penetration based of IRL firing test, no. Remember the chaos with report about penetration on old days, I’m satisfactory about current penetration formula.
Actually, Royal Navy, with its thick armor on capital ships, are beneficiary of current penetration formula, not a victim imo.
Do we have a counter for British things that are DOA? Because by my count we have at least lightning, vanguard, the javelin, the tracked rapier, and a few others things I can’t remember at the moment.
Regardless would be an uphill battle, less armour, less penetration, less damage per shell, fewer guns. Layout means we won’t get 1-tapped but that’s where I envisage the positives end.
