Hi
I have just purchased Dreadnought Battlefleets and am considering using some Italian and Austrian forces.
Looking at the battleships the Austrian Viribus Unitus class only have a protection of 11 and the Italian Conti di Cavour class 10. These figures are in line with the early British battlecruisers.
Are these values correct?
Thanks
Steve

Seems low. Just in a 30 sec review of wikipedia info about these ships, I'm going to say the AV ought to be more like 15.
Not a detailed review, not a reliable source. . . but enough to say you may have spotted some errata.

Looking in Conway for the belt and turret faces (and assuming similar armour quality & layout) the values do look on the low side, comparing with GB & USA ships might be better slotted in as follows:
GB Invincible class - Belt 7", Turret 10" - Prot 11 GB Tiger class - Belt 9", Turret 9" - Prot 13 GB Canada class - Belt 9", Turret 10" - Prot 14 Italian Conti di Cavour class - Belt 10", Turret 10" - Prot 10 => 14 GB Dreadnought class - Belt 11", Turret 11" - Prot 15 Austrian Viribus Unitus class - Belt 11", Turret 11" - Prot 11 => 15 US South Carolina - Belt 10", Turret 12" - Prot 15
In the interest of playability I think it is worthwhile having a look at the armour values of the Austrian, Italian & French fleets etc.
Keep up the good work.
Steve

Was it ever decided that an errata was needed to Dreadnought Battlefleets?
I'm running a little battle involving the Roma and Radetzky which seem to have AV a little on the low side
Roma 10" belt, 8" Turret AV- 9 Radetzky 9" belt 10" Turret AV -10
In Comparison
Deutschland - 9" belt 11" Turret - AV 14

Looks like a lot of the ships are 4 points shy on AV.
