Got a Cruiser Battle with Bombardment mission in the North Sea. My force starts there, only problem: Look where the target is:

Further tests show the displayed torpedo "calibre" stays at 18 inches if the ship in question is "freshly" designed, i.e. if it is the first ship designed after restart of the game (yes, even when reloading a save). My suspocion that it has something to do with main gun calibre selection in the design screen during previous designs hardens.

I have a suspicion about the source of the bug. It might have something to do with the main gun calibre used either in the ship design editor or developed as research object. As soon as I build battleships with 12inch main guns all my subsequent designs have "12 inch torpedoes", even quite early in the game with just 1 level of torpedo tech researched:

We do not get any feedback in the design screen about "all or nothing" armor even after it has been researched. Game manual say to choose "flat deck on top of belt" as armor option and not put any values in belt extension and deck extension.
Does this apply to any class that can be armored? Is, in game trems, the "AON" technology just a weight reduction for the armor choice layout "flat deck on top of belt"? Could you add a check in the design screen after "AON" has been developed that notifies when "flat deck on top of belt" is selected and armor value is given for BE and/or DE? That would give some feedback for "AON" designs.

When the game progresses to the later tech stages the torpedoes on my new ship designs switch from the initial 18inch NOT to the expected 21inch diameter but to 12inch (!). Seems a clear bug to me, even early on Whitehead never delivered smaller than a 14inch torpedo. Probably a simple mistype somewhere (12 instead of 21). For illustration my late game CL, look at the torpedo calibre: I do not know whether this has any effect beyond the purely cosmetical but I have seen enemy ships take a lot of hits from this torpedo generation, more than I thought they should before sinking.
