When did you start the game - 1900 or 1920? 1900
What nation were you playing? Austria-Hungary
Were there any start options that were not the default? small fleet, historical resource
Describe the issue in detail.
I constantly get Richedit line insertion error when I try to build 0.5” deck armour or turret top
What were you doing when the bug occurred?
Designing a CL with 0.5” deck or turret top armour
What did you expect to happen and how was the result you saw different than you expected. I expected the ship designer will allow 0.5” deck armour and turret top for allowing more free displacement
Can you describe how to reproduce the bug? Try to build a 0.5” deck armour or turret top armour
What version of the game were you playing (v1.00, v1.01, etc)? v1.04

That's not a bug, it's WAD. I think it has to do with how armor thickness values are stored.

I think having a 0.5” armour turret top or 0.5” deck armour should be a viable option for design. It is working as intended, whether that this is a good idea is another issue. Personally since 0.5 offer no meaningful protection against any kind of shell(0.5 deck might be useful super early game), the only benefit is splinter protection, which depending how it is calculated, may not really matter that much either. In that scenario I wouldn't be missing the choice, but if easily implemented I don't see problem with allowing the choice either. |

Splinter protection is 2", anything below 2" (and sometimes even above 2" late in the game) will be penetrated by splinters. So 0.5" actually is useless even at the beginning of the game. |

The dev have clarified that anything below 2" offer protection to splinter proportional to their thickness relative to 2", at 2" you are immune from splinter. |

I still think no 0.5” armour is a bug. If it was intended then when I press check design button It should show Error - you cannot build 0.5” armor! rather than Richedit line insertion error.

It is WAD that armor 0.5 inches is not allowed. The rich edit line insertion error seems like a bug though, but I cannot replicate that. You should get a line in the design report that says "Error: Armour thickness ½ in not allowed".
