Spitfire109 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Id like there to be no upper or lower, especially lower limit on the armor for ships. This is especially needed on heavy cruisers or certain BBs and BCs. Some ships historically had lower armor due to treaty restrictions or the need to maximize certain other traits. Things like the Kongo cant really be replicated easily. Or certain heavy cruisers like the Pensacola or Furutaka only have 76mm belts which isnt allowed on Heavys. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iuvenalis Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I wonder if this is related to the AI ship designer to keep it making reasonable, viable ships. On light cruisers I've notice it can often make "glass cannon" unarmored ships designs. (Though it makes it easy for me to pop them like balloons!)

Spitfire109 Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Maybe, but then that should only apply to the AI not us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AurumCorvus Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Personally, I'd really like upper limits removed. Yes, DDs and CLs are supposed to have weak armor, but (since there are no pesky treaties in this world) it would be very interesting to pursue armored DD and CL designs. Also, BBs and BCs have a "limit" of 100in, well in excess of any reasonable design you can build for them. The same "limit" should be extended and made uniform for any ship class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drenzul Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I don't agree, hulls have limits as well. At a certain point, adding more armour will do nothing because the armour will remain in one piece, but the hull underneath it will collapse under the force of the impact.
