Is it just me or does the Nelson battleship have its compartments go black from damage faster than any other ship?
I get into a fight with a Gneisenau. I lose 3 compartments before I can make a single one black.
VS a Nevada, same thing.
Vs a kronshtadt? I’m lucky to black one compartment before I’ve lost my unsinkability.
Some of these are even lower BR than the Nelson but the Nelson will generally lose a 1v1 against them, its armour always ends up being weaker, the Nelson rarely causes sinking, and you will sink after managing to ammo-rack them once and they sail on with no compartments meaningfully damaged. Not to mention the Nelson has a different aiming arc than Rodney and is forced to full broadside more than her sister ship cause who knows why.
I understand how to aim for their hull sides in realistic/EC, I adjust my aim to plunge into the belt and not just hit the deck, but even when you get those point-blank fights in EC the Nelson just never seems to take compartments out like its opponents.
What am I doing wrong? Or is the Nelson just modelled badly in another way on top of its bad gun fire arc?
