Because they have done this more than once, kongo、kirishima、myoko、haruna、yamato、 Many, many, I always think that gaijin didn’t finish them on the dev server, and every time they go to the live server, they are still the same.
You can open my issue link and click on my profile to see how many mistakes they have made. Perhaps
you can make a bet with me to see if Nagato will still be like this on the live server.
They always say that, but if you don’t point out their mistakes, they will do nothing, pretend everything is normal, and then move everything to the live server as is. Have you forgotten Leopards’ basket? If it weren’t for the attacks from the player community, they wouldn’t change anything.
It is the dev server. The model isn’t finished.
iirc Bismarck had a maximum of 35mm everywhere on the hull until the update went live.
Armor viewer likes to lie a lot too. What we may see as one thing is entirely different in reality.
Because Kongou generally likes to not die in combat because of its armor scheme.
Don’t deceive yourself, gaijin has closed all my reports, and they do consider the current status as’ finished ’
Gaijin does not deserve their playerbase.

To add on to this;
I guess the US Navy was just lying when they made this report. According to Gaijin the armor deck should’ve been obliterated.

Everything on dev is unfinished. We can quabble about sourcing, but everything on dev is unfinished. Ships can be wildly unfinished and have placeholder armor and stats. This is very common, even if it is a sister ship of a ship already ingame.
Also, Gaijin did not make up 1944. I know a lot of the years they list for ships are wrong, but they have been shockingly good with them this update, and 1944 is correct. I checked their work, I can confirm 1944 is accurate to the armament fit it has. It was fitted this way at Kure Naval Arsenal from 27 June to 8 July, 1944. This is not the fit that Nagato underwent from 25 November to I think 20 December (not exactly sure), 1944, that was at Yokosuka, this is the earlier in the year fit from Kure.

Most part of those ‘rolled homogenous armor’ on Mutsu are actually not RHA in real life. They are high tensile steel. It is not structual steel, but definitely about half the effectiveness of RHA.
So it is not 1944 Nagato is bugged, but 1922 Mutsu is artificially buffed.

they can just call it HT and made it，not just ignore it on someships when made them RHA on others

It is the most accurate solution, but Gaijin clearly don’t want to add more armor type. They denied addition of Ducol Steel and High Tensile Steel years ago, and still it is sadly.
They could also make it RHA at effective thickness so that the EIGHTY DOLLAR PREMIUM isn’t underperforming due to extreme laziness.
Don’t think so. 0.6 effective ness and 1 effectiveness is too different. Also, Nagato is very strong even except it. At least much better than Yamato.
It is an 80 dollar premium. Under no circumstances should it be worse than its supposed to be in any way.
It is supposed to be? Nagato is rather accurate way. Mutsu is severly buffed.
You said it yourself, structural steel is worse than HT steel. Which means Nagato has an artificial nerf because they’re too lazy to do anything else.
Are you saying that remove all horizontal armor and underwater protection is a ‘rather accurate way’? Can you explain why USN’s ships are not doing the same? Look at how the Brooklyn class is made, all the structural steel on the ship is considered as “anti fragmentation armor”!
Still, HT steel is much worse than RHA what Mutsu gets. It should not get RHA.
Because in real life they did. Nagato class is a ship that designed and constructed in 1910s and 20s when High Tensile steel is used as majority of hull structure. Brooklyn class is 1930s cruiser, when technology evolved and US navy was able to made antifragmentation armor as hull structure.
Speaking of Brooklyn class, Gaijin also made another inconsistency that they correctly made Brooklyn/Worcester/Baltimore class, while making Cleveland/Des Moines class wrongly as they also should have antifragmentation armor as their hull structure.
