[Jefgte]

The hull is short for that armament & speed.

- Main Belt covers 127 % of normal length - too much
- Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.02 - short for a cruiser


;)

[Sachmle]

As lightly armored as the rest of her is, the deck armor seems too thick. If you thin it you may get more speed.

[P3D]

Just allocate another 250t for FC from the reserves.

[Guinness]

the only thing I see wrong here is AC/BB tech ships require 250t FC weight, not 100t.

In the opinion category, I think the 6 meter tall belt might be a tad high. My guess is 5 meters ought to get the job done. That would be tall enough to cover two decks worth of hull.

[P3D]

Looking at the design again...

Hull form: BC is too low, decrease beam to gain more tonnage.
You need a main belt of 3.5m - from second deck to waterline, then another 1m below the waterline. An All-or-Nothing type distribution, you can do that for ACs.
You do not need to cover so much of the hull with 6" armor either - only the vital spaces.
If you have only 4x140mm on one side, I'd put them on individual mount&hoists, you have the space for it. Personally, I'd exchange a few 75s for more 140s.
Increase ammunition to 200/250 per gun.

Armored deck is a bit thin.
Use freed up tonnage to thicken deck to 35-40mm. I disagree with Sachmle, 50mm is on the thick side, but not by much.
Range is IMO excessive.
You need no flag facilities on a small cruiser. One could argue that flag facility is included in the hull weight, anyways.

Little overkill on the 75's, they aren't gonna hurt much anyway. Probably cut the belt to 12-13cm and the CT to 10cm try and get 35-40mm deck. Other than that...not to bad.

I would suggest cutting the armor down a bit and attempting to get a little more speed out of the design.  26 knots is very questionable for a cruiser design.

I would push the speed to 27.5 or better yet 28 knots and see what armor you can carry at that speed on the same displacement.

By all appearances, the belt length only needs to be set to ~90% of normal, rather than the 127% you have now.
