"This is one thing RTW simulates quite well, so many hits are outside the citadel" Only that high caliber rounds tend to pass through non citadel areas which to my knowledge the game does not really do.

Just for information turrets hits include hits on barbette too. I mean accounting for the barbettes. The hit ratio in game does seem to run about 1/4 for capital ships and I don't think even Agincourt gets there irl. For example, this is the side profile of a North Carolina class battleship: T - 12.7%, from 5.9% Turret Face and 6.8% barbette B - 12.2% CT - 1.5% Forward Hull - 15.1% Aft Hull - 9.1% Upper Hull - 11.2% Superstructure - 23.1% Funnels - 8.4% Secondaries -6.5% I did some quick test and turret hits in RTW is quite close to percentages you mentioned. If Norh Caroline has 12.7 %, than Agincourt would have certainly at least 25 %.

Finally got to run that analysis, Agincourt comes out to roughly 30% turrets and barbettes.

Its not that slopped or angled armor isn't used any more, its that NO armor is used anymore. Modern ships are not armored. The thickest places on ships are those that have to take jet and rocket thrust, such as VTOL planes or from some older ships with on deck missile launchers instead of VLS. To put it bluntly armor isn't cost effective when you have a missile hitting it at hypersonic speeds, its not going to matter even slightly. Well, that is not actually true. the Nimitz class carriers have 2.5 inches of armor over most of its vitals. It's actually pretty well armored. I haven't researched the Ford's and I don't think that information is available. But overall, passive armor is not used. You mean the Nuclear powered carriers have shielding around their nuclear reactors. Besides, 2.5 inch armor wont even stop a modern 5" round, let alone a missile strike. There is also magazine armor used to attempt to direct potential magazine detonations so that if say a magazine with an outward facing bulkhead detonates the outside wall will explode, but the armor isn't intended to prevent damage from outside forces, it either exists to protect the ship as a whole from damaged due to its own equipment, or in case of emergencies on the ship itself.
