LoL heres another..
I applied the same 8" deck armor to the UK EBB1 Dreadnought, 2 guns onboard and 2 lvl80 engineers to help me run 35knts. I took a full salvo (well, maybe.. I know I took alot of it) from Kaiser and survived the whole game. I find it really, really amusing to see these bb5/6 hitting me again and again, not using AP rounds to kill me faster. Placing high level Repairers increased my survivability with high SD (I was normally using the ship to level some pilots, lol).
I see some bounces/lessened damage still, and I'd usually act as bait while my teammates rounded up my back to get wins off with my armored BB1. It generally really seems that most higher tier BB users would very much hesitate to use AP rounds for anything that would never pose a threat to them.
It was way different with my experience using a Nelson or Lion 1, because once they observe you're armored, they'd immediately switch to AP rounds.
