That sounds like a rather poor excuse but I understand where you are coming from. On that note however im sure if the dev’s wanted to make it possible they would find a way.
And if the game really cant do it when why add Battleships in the first place…

you could make artifical compartmentalisation by just speperating it into more sections that it is currently no

Even just 12 sections would be more than enough to massively mitigate the effectiveness of unrepairable breaches

For now all ships are divided to 8 ~ 10 sections depending on the ship’s dimensions. There’s no plan to increase the number of subdivisions for now.

Is Rodney on that standard? Feels more like 4 sections. Or if it is more, its 2 in the front and the citadel section is the other 7
it is 9 there are 2 infront of the main turrets for some reason. but she might aswell have 1 considering you get 1 unrepairable breach and she sinks in like 5 mins
Yeah, they definetly need to split the ship into 9 even segments

They’d rather spend the resources revising smoke appearance for ground vehicles or something equally meaningless for most people than fix a massive fundamental issue with one of the primary game modes. I don’t buy the “technical limitations” excuse.

She is being divided into 8 sections, where forward 3 and rear 2 are not fully protected by armour, leaving only 3 sections effectively inside the citadel. I think the most urgent fix is to adjust the position of the hull subdivision so that there aren’t more than 4 sections not fully protected by armour, and to increase the hull durability to battleship standards.

Definitely, would be nice to have for example 9 sections with 7 behind the main belt, a good way to replicate reserve buyouncy behind the belt perhaps?
As always thanks; I appreciate the clarification from you.
Given she has a very long bow, I would doubt devs will consider leaving just one section in the bow area. From what I have observed on capital ships in game, most ships have two sections forward and two sections aft without armour. Rodney is currently the only exception having three unarmoured sections forward. Btw the 3rd is the one that being talked to death by people atm as it contains the forward two main calibre magazine. I think the most likely solution we might get is to rearrange the first three sections so the 3rd one will stay fully inside citadel.

is there any way to see where the sections are without getting them flooded or having to go into the files which i struggle with.

Use protection analysis, shoot at anywhere of the hull and the section that being hit will be highlighted.

well the flooding seems slightly better i got down to 35% with one section flooded and stayed there under constant fire for the rest of the game i did nothing as everything was broken but i was alive

The issue though, is that you’ve been hullbreached in a section unarmoured and that has caused the flooding of your front 2 guns which means they have like 2 minute reloads for the rest of the game. That point in the armour can be breached WAY too easily because it has no armour. They need to seperate the forward turrets and the section just before it and then that flooding wont be an issue. Also would be good if each turret was its own section as well.
