Anyone know if there is a benefit for selecting the AoN indicator for destroyers? DD's can't have armor in RTW1 obviously but they only get the AoN indicator if you select the flat deck on top of box armor scheme.
I can confirm there is no available tonnage change when you switch armor schemes which makes sense of course but does the concept of having a central raft that makes you less vulnerable to progressive flooding from the ends of the ship carry over for destroyers when you select the AoN scheme?

It might, but honestly I don't think it would make much of a difference: Even the largest DDs have so little flotation that you're dependant on the crew to control flooding, rather than keeping it stuck behind a bulkhead.

Ummm. I think 'no armor' equals 'no armor'. And, as you say, the scheme is 'All or Nothing' and the destroyers by definition get nothing, so...

Dunno, I just select it after I get AON cause I feel like I should. Same reason I put 2" guns on my ships around 1920ish to simulate AAA

You and director are probably right. I still do it just because and there's a chance with the 1,500 ton DD's that if the raft concept works for DD's that they have enough float points to make a difference. Either way I don't see a downside to doing it so I make it my default once I get the tech. |
