Most battleships in the game are AoN. Kongou, Fusou, Ise, Bismarck, Warspite, and Gangut are the only classes with the superior sloped deck armour scheme.

STS wasn't much superior to D Steel used by the British and Japanese. Main advantage was that it was weldable. Destroyers by deifnition don't have armour anyways, except for some weirdo French ones. And no, unlike a certain silly game, APC rounds don't just slip through an unarmoured ship and do no damage. Or else you will find people wouldn't mind being shot by bullets. A thousand kilo shell is going to tear all sorts of shit up when it passes through, creating splinters which pass through other shit causing more splinters. All creating holes which are quite counterproductive to the ships purpose of staying afloat

This is why ALL powers had 80% or more of battleship shells be APC. The battleships at pearl harbour had a 100% APC shell loadout with common/SAP shells making up the rest. This only changed for shore bombardment roles.
