red admiral -> Incorrect armour ratings on Brit BB,s (11/11/2011 10:37:50 PM)

Has anyone else noticed the incorrect armour ratings for these British Battleships- Nelson-Deck armour=108mm [it was actually 6.25 inches maximum on half inch plate giving a total of 6.75 inches or 172mm]. Nelson-Turret armour=336mm [it should be 406mm/16 inches]. Nelson-CT armour=336mm [it should be 356mm/14 inches]. KGV-Turret armour=312mm [it should be 324mm/12.75 inches]. KGV-Belt armour=360mm [it should be 374mm/14.7 inches]. KGV-Deck armour=159mm [I am not sure on this figure. As I remember it, it was actually 5.88 inches max with a 1.5 inch weather deck giving a total of 187mm-I think]. Also some of the durability ratings seem well suspect. Nelson=133-This seems well low, I think 140 would be a more realistic figure. Hermes=61- Simply far too high,[41 is more realistic, which is what it was in the original WITP game I think]. Illustrious/Indomitable/Implacable=80/79/85 respectively,[again well low considering these were well armoured and considerably tougher than the Enterprise class rated at 79]. Richelieu=140- Far too low.[The old Repulse is rated at 142-how can this be. Richelieu was a modern very large well armoured battleship so I think around 150 plus is more realistic.
