What are some common armor failures?
Common armor failures include: • Inferior plastic mesh, plexiglass, or other armor cracking and breaking up into pieces after repeated impacts, allowing rounds to pass through the wreckage. • Inadequately secured armor coming loose and flopping around inside the ship, allowing rounds to pass by it. • Armor that’s not adequately fastened at the bow or stern being blown out through the other side by triple stern gun fire. • Large gaps in the armor, or between armor pieces allowing rounds through between them. • Armor which is so rigid that it causes the bb’s to bounce back out through the hull skin, leaving a nasty exit hole.
