Sorry, didn’t notice.
@LafayеtteGPool, I’ll ping you here.
If you’ll ever read this try rewriting your report focusing on crew placement in a “battle ready” state instead of the compartments, I’ll paste a possible solution just below:
If you’ll ever want to redo the report I suggest starting from this point to avoid possible loopholes.
Hi.
I understand what you are talking about, but there is one catch - the standard for the distribution of the crew across the modules.
For example, there are 20 people in the main guns turret, 70 in the engine rooms, and so on.
Therefore, the excess crew that is not distributed among the modules is allocated into crew compartment.Another problem is the modeling of the module by compartment - even if the boiler takes up less space, in the model it occupies a whole compartment and there is no space left under the armor deck.
Although I can use this space in the engine room.
If we can’t move more crew into the engine room for coding issues splitting the mid ship compartment can be a possible solution as you hinted.
It can solve the bizzarre problem where Roma is, right now, the only new BB with the mid compartment above the main armored deck:
Iowa:
Yamato:
Richelieu:
Vanguard:
Roma:
Basically a random heavy HE shell or a bomb can take out a good chunk of the crew with no difficulty, not really the safest place to be in a combat scenario.
richielau is only slightly worse than bismarck
she gets better pen for a slightly worse reload and roughly same explosive mass and only slightly worse armor with better AA and similar secondarys
so id say richileu ties for best 8.3 maybe even better since you can ammo it as easy as bismarck with elavator fires not to mention armor belt is thicker but turtle back is thinner so almost same armor wise not to mention you can use all guns while angled giving you a above average salvo from front which is ideal
not to mention that the fire nerf is artficial as powder rooms where subdivied and where flooded when not in use so for example turret dora on has fore and after comparment for powder charges one flooded at a time while other was in use for saftey which gaijin hasnt modeled and they could be unflooded for use within 30-60seconds depeding on rooms

Link leads to nothing.
The Canadian shell scandal of WW1 had nothing to do with naval shells: that was about the politics of early war industrialization and concerned land artillery and fuzes. Your citation in this post above as a result contains NONE of the quotes you’ve given, which you’ve apparently taken from some secondary source without any attribution.
So you picked a couple quotes from randoes off the internet and tried to back them up with a basically fake link, assuming no one here knows anything about Canadian military procurement scandals (wrong!) and could spot the lie on sight. That’s the exact OPPOSITE of what @HK_Reporter does for this community every single day.
Sure sure, and that why after scandal new shells were produced in half a year.
The canadian article you linked doesn’t mention
Jutland
naval
or battleship
Once
The other quote you posted comes from a blog post Naval Gazing Main/Shells at Jutland
which doesnt cite its sources for the claims made in the article
According to Robert K. Massie in his book “Castles of Steel; Britain, Germany and the winning of the great war at sea”, the british first learned about their shells breaking up and exploding upon impact with armour from a swedish naval attaché during a lunch party aboard HMS Lion in August 1916.
This spiked the development of the green boy shells which would not arrive in numbers until April 1918.
(Chapter 34: Jutland: Aftermath; pages 667-668)
Wasn’t the Baden scuttled at Scapa Flow? How can you reliably trial somethig which was rotting on the bottom of the sea for a couple of years? Or was is quickly recovered?
In the first place there would be simply several doors and security walls between a turret’s fighting compartment, the elevator, the elevator shaft and the magazine compartments. There is virtually no way a fire might just spread all the way down to the powder bags.
The only way it might have happened was at Jutland, as all doors were left open on certain ships. To improve the fire rate. With catastrophic results.
The second example would be Gneisenau, which was at a dockyard as RAF bombed the deck. Similar to example #1 there were massive security violations. The battleship was under refit and the work crews left some doors / air vents open and failed to empty the magazines. Which would have been mandatory for any ship under repair in a dockyard. So some fumes ignited the magazine. But it has to be said that Gneisenau suffered internal damage only, kept afloat and next day steamed eastwards to a more secure facility.
Baden was scuttled on the 21st of June and refloated on the 19th of July 1919 and then went into drydock
Guys, Naval mode still sucks? Genuine question, was thinking about giving it a chance once again
Give it a chance
Well the gameplay is not ideal (things like map design, server performance and game modes). But it’s definitely playable
and each sub divided powder room was flooded when not in use
You got a source for that
Water and powder don’t mix well
yes its a feature in all ships as it prevents fires from detonating only flaw is you gonna dry out the ammo afterward literally google it the ship uses its main bilge pump to flood them
Historically, when artillery was fired with gunpowder, a warship’s magazines were built below the water line—especially since the magazines could then be readily flooded in case of fire or other dangerous emergencies on board the ship . An open flame was never allowed inside the magazine .
