That would complicates gameplay, since then we'd have to implement deck armor for BB too (RNG rolls whether shot hits the deck or side armor, also it affects dive bomber's damage). Then there's turret armor, because crit = ammo rack explosion from penetration.

Also, shells could hit armor underwater, and u can't damage surface ships with ASW gears aside subs but they r mostly underwater anyway (well, u can, but how do u throw those depth charges at ships a mile away?)

Torpedo pretty much pens anything, DD armor does nothing against it in real life, not even CA or BB armor can hold much against them.

DD didn't have much armor in the first place anyway, any shot from other vessel's main gun will deal tons of damage and likely to take the DD out of action.

So no, armor buff for DD is impractical and unrealistic, this ain't fantasy game.
