Hi,
Is an AV of 8 correct for the Petropavlosk class of battleship. It seems very low for a class with a Krupp 12" - 14.5" main belt and 12" on main turrets?

OK, so no answers to the question.
Can anyone tell me what the formula is to work out pre-dreadnought armour values please?

Did you look in the Excel ship card printing tool, or just the book? The printing tool has some corrected armor values in it. That might have been one of them.

Thanks for the reply. I looked at both the book and the spreadsheet, they are both AV8 for the Petropavlosks. It just seems a low value compared to AC’s which have higher AV’s when I check the actual armour thickness and type. Fuji’s Seems low as well.

It must have had some thinner armor somewhere that brought down the overall value. |

When I look at the relative armour ratings of Russian ships in other rules sets there’s no indication that the Petropavlosks had such weak armour, they are usually equivalent to the Borodino class. That’s why I’m suspicious of an error under NT.

Might have used different sources. I used Conways All the World’s Fighting Ships as my source, which is pretty authoritative. Other games might have used a contemporary Jane’s. Which is not. But anything is possible. If you think it needs to be different, change it.  |
