I think the location of impact is having an effect on the killing power of a lot of these shots. Most of the hits shown here are coming down the centreline, where they'll be triggered on impact with the superstructure (note how many #2 turrets and funnels get broken), effectively exploding relatively harmlesslyy above the deck. Compare the shots that killed the Roma, which detonated inside or below the ship, causing fires and floods that rapidly dragged the ship down. Ironically, our pilot here may be being too accurate XD

They really need to model in the armor penetration of bombs and missiles with a delay fuse. A good many of these would be a lot more devestating. They wouldn’t be stopped by the deck. They would enter the interior and then explode. We have armor piercing bombs in the game and they don’t do the only thing they are advertised for.

Most aircraft guided missiles aren't designed to sink something this big, and if on top one doesn't use the aim correction -to, say, go hit at the waterline, or ammo reserves, and target the superstructure, it's pretty normal none does actually do much damage, if at all. Still, nice to see what a targeting by default does.

Fun fact. The Kirov Battlecruisers (Think oversized Destroyers the size of a small battleship) perhaps one of the most powerful warships ever put to sea crews were terrified of the prospect of taking on a IOWA. This was due to the ungodly amount of punishment the ship could tank. Lack of armor was also a factor. If a IOWA got close enough one shell was enough to put a one way trip to its new reef location.

Also the BBs had long range weapons as well not just the main guns. They had a variety of long range missiles as well and a helicopter. This was not something a Kirov would want to tango with. Sure they might be able to sink it, but more than likely the cruiser would be either joining the Iowa or be so crippled it might as well be a pyrrhic victory due to the damage the IOWA would have done to the Kirov and its crew.

Most modern weapons are not designed to penetrate 12 or more inches of armor . most ww2 battleships were sunk by torpedoes. the severe bomb damage done at Pearl Harbor was mostly done by battleship shells with bomb fins attached so it would drop as a bomb.

Maverick missiles are made to kill tanks, and some variants of them can hit ships. I find it hard to believe the maverick missile would have any trouble punching through the belt armored of a battleship. Sure, it won't do much damage because of the warhead size, but sending a dozen Hornets loaded with four a piece will put a hurting even on the most heavily armored ships. Second, laser guided munitions would gut any battleship especially if dropped from high altitude.

And the Spy one on a ticonderoga-class could start picking up a track it better than 150 miles without using or helicopter to spot. Having steamed with two of the Iowa's, and with about fifteen of the ticonderoga-class and Iowa would scare the hell out of the bad guys but only when the big guns got in range, a Tycho can reach out past 200 miles with Tomahawk and nearly to 100 with harpoon, 32 standard missile, and over 125 with the helicopter and it's missiles

While this is true, the Fritz X was a bit of a gimmick against which very easy countermeasures exist.
