Not same era. Glorious is post war (1919) while Barham is pre Jutland (1916) and so also before introduction of green boy shells

It’s a WW1 battleship with a distributed armour scheme so really nothing surprising or wrong with the game
A WW1 Battleship built to proof to any german guns.
Also, she’s stuck with Mk1 APC, which was out dated by 1916.
MkIII APCBC was standard issue on the QE’s during WW1.
Hell she atleast could get MkII, that was basically just Mk1 with a Added balistic cap.
Which didn’t exist only Britain used 13.5"
Also WW1 rounds vs “modern” ap capped rounds
Apcbc that’s also probably going through the deck.
Mk.IIa was introduced 1918
The upper belt (6inch) is already very easy to pen, behind that most of the crew compartments are
So it shouldn’t be 7.3 then, The thing is only .3 BR bellow the Genisenau.

That we can agree on tenfold
There is so much compression, WW1 dreadnoughts shouldn’t face anything WW2
A few years ago we had a battle of jutland event which was sooo amazing

Homie, Prince of Wales should be 7.3 because of how garbage its shells are.
Barham could probably get away with being 6.7
@Smin1080p_WT could you maybe ask the developers if such an event would be possible again in the future?
it amazes me how bad gaijin is with British naval artillery,
The british 14in guns were stupid powerful.
POW legit nearly disabled Bismarck in the first engagement had the shell not been a dud.
With the protection which is working wonders I would say 7.7 at the least. It again also should face WW1 dreadnoughts
Guns that weren’t combat ready and a ship that got gutted by losing all but one CO.
Tbf that was a as lucky hit as Bismarcks on hood
It dove through the water and passed under the belt
But DOY absolutely trashed Scharnhorst

Meanwhile British Artillery in game:
I see you have 500mm of pen, and hit a 250mm plate, too bad, shatter.
It would be a decent foil against Scharnhorst and at least makes sense as 7.3: FAT armor and worthless guns due to shells being worse than most 6.7s.
If it absolutely has to be 7.7, at least give it shells worth a damn so it can actually do something to same tier ships.
I have yet to test this but I don’t think DOY could pen Scharnhorst ingame
