No it is existent in the game, structural steel does have some protective capabilities, but its much less than even HT steel. Which is the problem, they’re depriving a ridiculously overpriced premium of some ~15 to ~20mm of effective armor for no reason other than laziness. That’s the problem.
I wouldn’t be surprised if her armor in-game wouldn’t be capable of stopping the less-than-famous bomb hit in front of her number 3 turret. …though that might be because HE works weird rather than less effective armor.
Which still protected the ship btw!
The issue is
All the structural steel that is not displayed is consistent with the data card in the game, which means that all battleships are equally have only 25mm hull structural steel，no thickness difference nor place difference, so this is certainly not correct.
if this can’t be fixed，at least same class ship should have the same standard.
every ship’s structural steel thickness is equally shown on the data card.
that means all battle ship s just have 25mm
structural steel hull，no difference in position and thickness.
I want to believe this，but i didn’t find any evidence.
I also didn’t see the thickness difference they labeled in cdk, so I don’t think they really have the correct thickness modeling. Perhaps you can help me find it?
When you shoot there in protection analysis, you can see the angled armor, but it doesn’t provide much protection.
It would be nice if they could add more armor types, but I feel like there’s some game engine limitations.
The more different armor plates the more calculations needs to be done.
but why these armor can be seen in mutsu but not in nagato?this doesn’t make sense.
besides，Since players cannot see the specific information of the armor they hide, this means that gaijin can freely adjust the thickness and position of those armor, completely ignoring the reality of the situation, which is also inappropriate.
As I saids, Gaijin choose structual steel to not seen on armor view, and HTS on Nagato class becomes RHA on Mutsu and structual steel on Nagato. Yes they do it wrong on both ship, and proper HTS implementation would be needed, but at least those ‘plate’ itself exist, as can be seen on the protection analysis. Every bulkhead and plates at least exist. They are just mostly structual steel and not seen on armor view.
