North Carolina, Iowa and Montana Deck Armor?

[poopoofoofoo]

I am not sure, but I believe the  NC, Iowa, Missouri and Montana are missing their main armored decks. I also believe the Montana and Iowa had their main armored decks modeled before their citadels were lowered, but since then do not. Alabama might also be missing deck armor but I do not have it so I cannot view it in armor viewer. I will explain how they look in the armor viewer below to try to help. If I am correct, the armored deck should be located at the top of the armor belt on each of these ships.

 

North Carolina

Top deck- 37 mm; in reality 38 mm

No main deck; in reality 140 mm

Citadel deck- 43 mm at bow and stern, 19 mm in the center; in reality 19 mm over machinery and 43 mm over magazines (correctly modeled)

 

Iowa and Missouri

Top deck- 38 mm; in reality 38 mm

No main deck; in reality 152 mm

Citadel deck- 25 mm at bow and stern, 16 mm in the center; in reality 16 mm over machinery and 25 mm over magazines (correctly modeled)

 

Montana

Main deck- 38 mm; in reality 38 mm

No main deck; in reality 147 mm + 32 mm

Citadel deck- 19 mm; in reality 19 mm

Am I incorrect? Do these ships have their deck armor modeled in some way I cannot see? Any help would be appreciated.

thing is for some reason WG decided not to give the USN there STS plating they had in real life (despite everyone else having access to there full armor scheme....) which made the armor thinner in some places than it should be so that can be the reason for that

Main deck doesn't show up on the in game armor viewer,  but is visible on the data mined models.  I'll post links when I get home.

If the U.S.N. BBs had their deck armor modeled correctly, they'd probably be op at distance because little could get through. It's a pitty they ignore some good aspects of U.S.N. BBs for game "balance"

Got screens for the NorCar.

It's there, just not part of a section that's easily visible within the in-game armor viewer.  Back when the ships had high citadels, the citadel deck had the "missing" values.

GM3D can show you every bit of modeled armor, but it requires you to pay for most ships.
