As the person above so kindly explained. The game mechanics are showing you far reduced numbers. Have you bothered checking it with enemy ships?

Oh look, the 10 Luck DDs take 250 crits from my Kirishima, but the 1 Luck CLs only take 200 crits from the same level Kirishima with the same exact weapons, using the exact same attack. That must mean more luck = more damage from Crits right?

Also, next time. Specify the luck of the two ships in question. There are CVs with 50 luck, and DDs with 12. Oh, since the 50 luck CV is taking more damage despite having higher armor, more luck = bad, right?

Also, despite all of that. You missed the main point entirely. The discussion isn't whether or not low Luck boosts damage you take from Crits. The discussion is, does it affect the chances of being critted in the first place. And despite numerous testing, no one has been able to prove it does in over a year. So either it doesn't, or the effect is so miniscule that it wasn't even detectable (example: 1 point of Luck decreases chance of being critted by .000001%). In either case, Luck is essentially useless for anything other than night-battle cut in.
