It was poorly-engineered and in particular subject to tremendous constant load: this caused it to fail against much-lower-magnitude shocks and strains than designed. Skate hit Yamato directly on the joint between the armor belt and the torpedo bulge - that rupture was the major cause of flooding, and the weak jointing of the two pieces has always been indisputably the biggest weakness in the Yamato's protection, from torpedoes or otherwise. It's not the location length-wise that's important in Yamato's case, but depth-wise. But for both USN and IJN BB's, TDS Values are all over the place without any historical value whatsoever, and CV's are not much better off. At least they where consistent with German BB TDS, well consistent in making them all consistently bad. Alabama having this super TDS compared to Iowa or North Carolina, despite Iowa having the exact same TDS, is just the latest example of these vodka filled TDS Shenanigans. Such as Myogi having better TDS than most of the IJN line, Fuso having better stock TDS than Nagato's fully upgraded TDS or New mexico's Stock TDS being better than North Carolina or Iowa. Wargaming must have decided TDS values via a vodka induced game of pin the tail on the donkey, given just how erratic TDS values are. Well lets face it, TDS values in this game in regards to all battleships is completely out of whack. Nobody disputes this, and WG has never given a proper explanation as to why, beyond the general "depth" argument (which is silly, the system is still deep, but relies more on internal volume rather than an external bulge).Įverything else in this thread is pretty inconsequential and generally off-topic in that regard. North Carolina's torpedo defense system is just undermodeled.
