Currently it seems that the ship design files only list one armor. As a result, even if we pay to rebuild the turrets years later (by changing the armor thickness), they still use the quality of armor the ship was built with.
I propose that the ship design files be changed to list the armor for the hull, turrets, and secondaries separately. Then, allow rebuilt turrets or secondaries to use the armor available at the time of the rebuild.

I would just add information that turret hits sometime can mean hits into barbettes. However barbettes were not being rebuilt.

If I understand you correctly, that would defeat the purpose of this suggestion. Not at all. Just adding information that simply splitting armor value to turrets and rest of the ships is not correct either and it is not better than actual status. That you need that penetration formula on turret hit needs to be split to barbette and turrets and appropriate armor mod need to be used. |

So I think what you're saying is that the code for barbette hits would stay as they are now, and use the same armor as the hull. Only the turret itself would change to the newer quality armor. Ditto with secondaries, if they got rebuilt. |
