(pb: at least 8) Of course, the battleship "died" at Pearl Harbor. The CV may not be too far behind it now... but anyway, it took a lot to sink a battleship.
So, why did the Shinano go down with only four hits, having been built on a Yamato Class hull, you might ask? (from The Sinking of the Shinano): The Shinano had been built with what were thought to be torpedo-proof blisters of armor on each side of the ship. Much of the ship had four-inch steel plating reinforced with three feet of concrete. But because Captain Enright set the torpedoes to run at 10 feet rather than deeper, they hit above the protective armor.  |
German Subs:
SH_Torpedo_G7e_TII - Min = 120.0 / Max 180.0
SH_Torpedo_G7a_TI_FATI - Min = 120.0 / Max 180.0
SH_Torpedo_G7a_TI - Min = 120.0 / Max 180.0
SH_Torpedo_G7e_TIII - Min = 120.0 / Max 180.0
SH_Torpedo_G7e_TIII_FATII - Min = 120.0 / Max 180.0
SH_Torpedo_G7es_TIV - Min = 80.0 / Max 160.0
SH_Torpedo_G7es_TV - Min = 80.0 / Max 160.0
SH_Torpedo_G7es_TXI - Min = 80.0 / Max 160.0
SH_Torpedo_G7ut_TVII - Min = 120.0 / Max 180.0
SH_Torpedo_G7a_T1-LuT1 - Min = 120.0 / Max 180.0
SH_Torpedo_G7e_T3-LuT2 - Min = 120.0 / Max 180.0
US Torps:
SH_Torpedo_Mk27 - Min = 90.0 / Max 130.0
SH_Torpedo_Mk10 - Min = 100.0 / Max 150.0
SH_Torpedo_Mk14 - Min = 110.0 / Max 160.0
SH_Torpedo_Mk18 - Min = 110.0 / Max 160.0
SH_Torpedo_Mk16 - Min = 140.0 / Max 200.0
SH_Torpedo_Mk23 - Min = 110.0 / Max 160.0
Plus there are other variables, like [AP] tag "The armor level it penetrates." So for the SH_Torpedo_Mk23 it's measured at 100.0.
The stock game has the SH_Torpedo_Mk27 - Min = 50.0 / Max 110.0...
Now compare this:
NBB_Yamato has 1500 Armour Level
NBB_Kongo has 800 Armour Level
NBB_Bismark has 1500 Armour Level
Your average CL / CA ranges from 30 to 85 Armour Level
Your average DD ranges from 25 to 30 Armour Level
