After modifying fnord_disc's armor penetration code to adjust for shell normalization and plunging fire, it seems that for USN 203mm SHS - on the Baltimore and Des Moines - the shells have the potential to penetrate deck armor starting at 14.2km - though inconsistent due to ricochet chance- and becoming more consistent at around 16.5km. These deck penetration values only seemed to increase the further out you go. - ~130mm at max range 18.6 

 

This does also seem consistent with some results in my Baltimore - citadelling Izumos near max range and getting deck pens on an Amagi around 16km

 

P.S. Penetration values are adjusted for angle

I have no idea what you're talking about; and I think I'm really happy about that.
