ive been ammoracked numerous times through main belt at close range by 16inches from south dakota which has similar performance to the 41CM of Mutsu and other 41 ships from my experince it happens
its only good in close range against lower ships like 8.0
other than that you should just camp behind a island
it can very easily happen and unlike every other ship in game its immediate death not like south dakota who can be ammo racked in every turret and live literally a cutscene death
unlike every other 8.3 ship you also cant angle it due to zero bow armor its literally one of the most hopeless ships ever as you constantly face south dakotas and iowas and soyuz

I have the same expirence the ship it self makes a lot of fun it just sitz in the wrong Environment :(
Or its just to late to the party for it to be one of the top 8.3 Ships.
This isn’t completely true; the bow plate is mostly fine, the magazine protector plate is absolutely abysmal - But this is a thing for most of the german BBs in general so it might as well be the exact same thing.
At least Bismarck doesn’t suffer like the Littorios who have a third of the firerate. Not that they should.
7.3s can kill her just as easily as 8.7s at range. I’ve legit survived longer at close range broadsiding than angling.
I am, however, in agreement that she does need a bit more survivability.
