Considering that only the Germans used the turtleback armour scheme in WW2, just how effective was it? Did they know something every other navy missed or was it just a case of using what they knew? I ask because of a disagreement with someone who is adamant that the combination of Bismarck's sloped belt and turtleback deck would enable the ship to successfully defeat a point blank shot from Yamato's main guns which I refuse to believe.

@kemarisite I think the moral is "Don't try to use facts to change the mind of a fanatic" It's amazing just how many rabid fanbois Bismarck has who just wont listen to any other arguments. He he never stated just what he considered "Point Blank" range. As Drach has repeatedly pointed out, no armour is proof if you get close enough.
