Armoured Belt on Ships

[rubbercop]

I was looking at the armour configuration on my battleships and I noticed that where the armoured belt should be (i.e the thickest part of the armour, designed to protect the vital innards of ships), it just showed relatively thin armour.  Am I missing something?  Is the armour schematic incomplete?  Or is this an inaccuracy with the game?

This is a layer, like a cake.

 

Peel it off and you'll see that is just the outside, and it gets thicker (like a LOT) when you move in

Ships are like onions. Ships have layers. Onions have layers. They both have layers.

What the posters above me said.  Some ships (Like the Scharnhorst/Gneisenau) will show a 45 mm Citadel Torpedo Bulkhead, but if you place the next layer on you will see that it has a 350 mm belt followed by a 110 mm turtleback followed by the 45 mm Citadel Torpedo Bulkhead for a total of 505 mm Armor to penetrate the Citadel.  Other ships (Like the North Carolina) only have a 305 mm Citadel Armor Belt.

Yup, armor on ships have multiple layers. You have to go to the armor layout and turn off some of the settings to see the whole picture.

Turn everything off except the "Hull" armor and then look down into the ship at the opposite side.  You should clearly see the armored belt value.  It'd be nice if WG would allow players to turn of the torpedo bulges too...

Agreed, It was throwing me off when I started playing around with it.

 

Overall though, the armor viewer was much needed and way cool!   I just wish all of the ships had their correct thicknesses.
