I don't think I've seen a thread like this posted before but eh if it has here's another.

There's quite a bit of armor hidden in the bows of BB's not viewable with the in-game armor viewer so I figured I'd compile it all together.

I've checked all the hulls and there is only one ship that had increased armor in the bow from a hull upgrade and I'm pretty I didn't miss anything but if I did let me know.

Gonna divide this by tiers and use spoiler tags to divide everything up as well as split into multiple posts because of the image limit.

Is the front part of Mikasa to support the armored bow (for ramming)? It seems like an odd place to stack armor, even in a predreadnought.

Okay think I have everything formatted right, let me know if somethings messed up.

Is the front part of Mikasa to support the armored bow (for ramming)? It seems like an odd place to stack armor, even in a predreadnought. 

 

I don't think that's historical but I can't say for sure.

WG seemed to add armored decks in the bows of most BB's but I don't understand their reasoning behind how they did it.

 

(E) Actually it might be,

Battleship_Mikasa_from_JFS1906_Cropped.p

You can see a curved deck in there but it doesn't list anything about it and I have no detailed books about her.
