I earned a die-hard in my Shimakaze against an Iowa

[LurchRTS]

Just wanted to share.  Didn't know it was even possible.

do you have a video or reply of this?

Replay please. There should be a mistake somewhere. Iowa HP pool = 3.5 times of a Shima at worst...

Do you have the detailed report screenshot where it tells you how much damage you did to what targets and how?

Don't know about getting it against a BB but have gotten it twice in a DD . Once when another DD rammed me and once when I deliberately rammed a Fubuki in my Hatsuharu (see replay shortcut provided ) .

That is what got me about the ramming of the Fubuki (12,900 HP) by my Hatsuharu (11,700HP) . However some of my friends (and their Supertester friends) that revied it said it was a matter of angle and speed differences . Also as can be seen in the replay he was at less then half HP while I was at full HP .

You can get Die Hard against a ship with a larger HP pool than you if you move slow enough and you have more HP than it. We've seen NorCars get Die Hard against Bismarcks and NorCars certainly have less HP than Bismarcks.

If you ram a ship at very low speed (such as catching up to them and shoving against their stern as they're moving away from you) both ships will lose hitpoints at about the same rate instead of just instantly dealing their maximum hitpoints as impact damage.  You can get Die Hard this way in a ship with lower maximum HP than the ship you rammed.

...That's news to me. You tend to ram only as a last resort, so the mechanics are extremely confusing to most people...
