No the hell she doesn’t. Amagi explodes the instant shells fly towards her. The only difference between her and Yamato is Amagi usually doesn’t instantly die.
Instead she loses a magazine, several fires [and] nearly floods to death. Mutsu in comparison can tank most 7.0 to 7.7 ships she’ll see. Amagi’s model is also longer than Yamato (which is historically incorrect).
Which is far better than Yamato, but perhaps I should have said “more survivable” rather than “better armoured”. Her hull sections seem to take far more damage before being destroyed too. I haven’t noticed any significant difference between Amagi and Mutsu in terms of their survivability, but maybe thats just me. Ise is the best Japanese ship for survivability IMO.
You mean fusou?
Ise has the same issue of Hyuga: frontal mag almost always instantly goes.
Fusou, in comparison, just doesn’t seem to die. Sure, it loses bow almost immediately but that’s about it. I have yet to see one just instantly die when shot at.
Hyuga and Ise are probably two of the worst 7.x ships in the game. At least in my opinion.
Nagato’s magazine has thick armor, but its horizontal armor is the same as none. one shot can kill more than half of its crew.It loses its crew very quickly, which is a fatal weakness, making its powerful magazine armor a decoration because you don’t need to hit its magazine,you can just hit the middle part of the ship.When you open the CDK, you will find some holes in the middle of Nagato. These holes appear because the structural steel did not fully cover them. I suspect that gaijin copied the armor of the Mutsu when making Nagato.Someone submitted an issue, but not a bug
While far thinner, Ise has a turtle-back similar to Scharnhorst that isn’t present on Hyuga, I’ve found that, combined with her very low water line makes her extremely survivable.
The most internal deck armour inside citadel does not enhanced in refit yes. It was deck armour on top of main armour belt only that reinforced during the refit. As shown in the difference between bow magazine and stern magazine protection system, 1930s refit of Nagato was limited because of weight shortage.
In my experience, that armor has done absolutely nothing for her survivability. Maybe it’s more useful in realistic where player accuracy is nerfed but it does a whole lot of nothing in arcade since people like to magazine fish.
Trust me I’ve seen it if U played naval during the Arizona era when she was introduced not too long afterwards.
For me using her sister ship mutsu, her deck armour above her mainbelt is the weak spot. Tho it might be able to stop shells , shrapnel was able to still get through and hit boiler rooms. Knocking out crew and reducing her propulsion hence why I angle away and fight from long range, to give her a fighting chance when taking hits. It works most of the time when I played her but taking a hit on the deck still hurts. But it fairs better since players accuracy when U are angled away, and slowly sailing away from Ur enemy does make players harder to hit the weak spot.
