ok so please post your experiences with the Repulse and armor.
i armored it to 8.3 deck, striped the back gun, used the RP12s lvl 64 guns with HE light.
IJN PBB shooting at angle 45 ripped throuth the armor, at angle 35 the shells bounced, and at
angles 30-33/34 they did about small damage but some went to belt and did normal damage. this
was all done in a test i did.

Note:it seemed when the guns are at angle 24-23 then you are in good range and you will bounce
shells.

Afterward i tried it in combat, i fought a Pennsylvania and engaged when my guns where at angle
24 usually and the shells bounced. (sunk him) after that i shot at a Montana within the same angle
24 and i wasnt sure if i bounced any of his shell but after 2 salvos he died because he was low on
health. then i went on and did the same to a low health Iowa and killed him in one salvo with the
angle 24 and i think i might have bounced some of his shells because he did shoot at me. Then i
went on to a H39 who had full health(at this point i had almost full health and SD bar was some
where around 75%). i got him to about 12-15k health after some 2-4 salvos, which were at angles
22-24. it did take him more salvos then i shot to kill me because my guns reloaded slower so i
know i must have lowered the damage of his shells/bounced some.(he missed his first salvo).
Overall i did 53k attack and got 23 k exp from loosing the battle!^^

hope we can make a useful guide on UK armor, repulse for now (dont have my Nelly yet). Please
post useful information about your experiences with repulse armored. Thanks!
