Help My Cruiser is exposed

[ctwaterman]

Im having a little problem my Light Cruiser Below seems to have an armor problem every time I try to increase the size of the armor to cover that exposed flank er..... magazine or machinery I am told Armor Exceeds size of the ship.  Basically the program wont let me expand the armor anymore but yet the armor doesnt cover the all important machinery and magazines..??????

Part of the problem is you are mixing metric and english lengths.  Note your hull is in metric while everything else is in english. 

Also ditch the torpedo belt, the ship is too small to mount a torpedo defense system.

As to your armor problem.  Set the length of the end belt to zero.  Then expand the main belt till it covers the mags / engines.  Then set the length of the end belt to whatever ship length is left.

Ahoj!
It's the torpedo bulkhead.
I resimmed your ship, and adding the TDS made SS demand armour lenght of 600 feet as to cover machinery and magazines.

Borys

[miketr]

Also you have all of the 8" guns as raised mounts.

I have twin turrets so I need to change that I will have to look at rearming the Ship but Ok the Metric and Inches problem does explain what is happening... plus the Torpedo Bulk head..... *sniff*

Ok Critisize away - I view this PC as something I can cheaply build and use in Med and Red Sea to escort my BB and main cruisers.   Its job will be to engage TB and DD and independent operations like laying mines and such.

The 6" twin deck mounts are real points to avoid.  Vurnable and slow munition supply, slow traverse and so on. Maybe even not accepted in the current ruleset.

[Sachmle]

The 6" twin deck mounts are real points to avoid.  Vurnable and slow munition supply, slow traverse and so on. Maybe even not accepted in the current ruleset.

Not really, if one has the tech. The 1910 Cutting Edge (+5): twin gun mounts tech would allow for these, and the tech's qualifier:

Twin gun mounts requires hoists, and they are power operated. Their armor is limited to splinter protection - 1".

would make the traverse issue a moot point.

As for the design itself, I'd ditch the casemates and go w/ deck mounts for the 3" as well, just no hoist. I'd add that 1" splinter protection to the hoists on the 6"s and then tweak the trim until the steadiness was as close to 70% as I could get w/o the stability dropping below 1.10.

*grumble* Just as soon as I come up with an interesting and unique design, it is copied! Maybe I should start designing some of them circular battleships...  ;D

As I understand it, the twin mount tech would be something like the Omaha's gunhouses, or the Hawkins gunmounts.

As I understand it, the twin mount tech would be something like the Omaha's gunhouses, or the Hawkins gunmounts.

Yes, probably. Not quite as fast to train as a 4-5" but w/ electric still relatively fast.

Not copying anything I believe its called the theory of Parallel Evoloution.... ;D

I would have had to see what you were designing to copy it.....

[ctwaterman]

Well I played with the stability and the armor and looked at some of the other designs proposed and here is what I came up with.... Lots and lots of 5" guns for Anti-TB/DD Work and 6 Torpedoes for launching at other Cruisers.   Lots and lots of mines and the ability to run away from most really big ships.
