The later ships are, of course, as tanky as German heavy cruisers get. On German battleships, the armor is arranged differently, so you can’t truly view the actual thickness of the slopes. If you view armor profile of a ship like Hindenburg and select to show only the ship’s vital part (the citadel), you will see sloped “sides” of the citadel box, and those edges are called “armored citadel deck slopes”, whose thickness is 60 mm. “Turtleback armor” is not a technical term by the way. While I cannot confirm what it truly means, but I assume that “sloped decks” are essentially something similar to “turtleback armor”. Tanky light cruisers? I mean the M and Q even have “sloped decks”. That’s basically the concept of the Lützow light cruiser proposal, right? RIGHT? I know WG could always make brand new models for the ships but it’d be much easier to put existing models on existing models. Torpedoes: 4x3 533 mm torpedo tubes (same as Hipper) Primary armament: 4x3 150 mm guns (same as the 150 mm on Nürnberg) X: (Slightly) Modified Hull B Roon with Nürnberg's gunsĮstimated HP: proposedly same as in-game Hipper VIII: Hull A Hipper with Königsberg's guns It’s a formula(s) I stole from someone I know and I do not have the permission to give them to anyone else. WarGaming may use different sources for the ships’ displacements. “ Lützow was originally designed as a light cruiser version of the Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers, armed with twelve 15 cm (5.9 in) guns instead of the Admiral Hipper 's eight 20.3 cm (8.0 in) guns.”Īnd an image (from somewhere I fail to remember):Ī bit of a disclaimer: the estimated HP, based on the ships’ standard/full displacement, for the ships aren’t 100% accurate (but I did some tests and the results are very close). Before any stone is thrown, there are valid historical designs that can make it to the line.
