More chance for KM to hit unarmored(poor) belt(guns angle).
Armored in NF?what a joke.
SDE,NF=/=reality,fallen to consult any naval advise.

Armor - KM wins here, SN has IJN armor.

As far as I am aware Soviet Navy armor in Navyfield is equal to or Superior to Royal
Navy armor.

SN ships at low levels are pretty strange...they've got a 20 degree BB1 (or was it BB2?) gun and their CA guns have
30 to 45 degree guns.

Deck hits usually do more damage actually.

V2C's point is that the lower the maximum angle of guns, the lower the "hangtime"; the
time it takes shells fired from your ship to reach the enemy. The lower, the more
efficient it is while rushing, and the less effective when running.

Speed - Depends on the ship line and guns used, but generally KM is faster.

Quite a few End-tier SN ships will have a long hangtime for their guns, another
disadvantage SN has.

could you explain the lower angle advantage?

is that all due to doing belt hits instead of deck hits? or is there another factor which
i'm overlooking (like shorter hangtime, which can also be a disadvantage at some
times)?

KM uses lower gun angles which makes a big difference.

I'd assume like every other nation.... KM is inferior.

My guess in terms of gunships:
Durability - SN
Shell Damage - SN
Shell Spread - SN
Range - KM (but KM range advantage is barely an advantage, 1 or 2 pixels doesn't
make a difference when KM Shell damage and spread is so inferior to everyone else).
Armor - SN
Speed - KM (maybe, but again, KM Speed is barely an advantage over others).
Looks - KM (Only advantage over others is most of their ships are good looking)
