Then we have a totally different can of worms

The slope retains the same geometry. It does not need to meet the bottom of the belt. The distal end of the belt (the extension of the H class) does not meet the bottom of the slope in either case.Alberto Virtuani wrote:Hi Dave,Dave saxton wrote; "No, the belt just extended deeper down and was not tapered.

thanks again for the info. Therefore, if I understand correctly, compared to Bismarck, the H class would have had a "longer" slope in order to go from the 1 meter deeper belt bottom (not tapered) to the main deck, 1 meter above water, thus giving to the scheme belt+slope the same effectiveness of the Bismarck one (except for the slightly thinner maximum belt thickness).
Does anybody have an armor scheme for H class that can be posted here ?
Bye, Alberto
Well, yes the thinking here is logical.ede144 wrote:Honestly, if H is ready to go for Rheinübung, than you have either BS or TP available too. So H and BS will go and the short legged Prinz will stay at home, or go to Norway.
