There is a thread in the old forum data on whether to armor QV or not. Most QVs (over 90%) nowadays are armored. And I have tried both setups, while armor is effective against some ships (KM), I feel with the new patch and the buff to SN and IJN bb6 armored penetration, and increase in gun angle, speed is more important. Against SN bb6, armored QV is difficult to play, having same speed, significant worse range, and useless armor. It's even worse against Amagi, being 4 knots slower. So do people still think armored QV is better setup, either for GB or HA? Is SW QV viable option in competitive environment? Please discuss
