Currently, HMS Hood has both Armour 7 and the "weak deck armour" rule, making it more vulnerable than contemporary battlecruisers even though she was actually tougher.

Suggested course of action is to giver her armour 8 and keep the negative special rule.
Alternately, if this would make her too tough (since her armour was thick but the scheme outdated), keep her at armour 7 but remove the special rule.

I'll look into it. Having reduced armor (Hood would qualify for Armor 8 with her 305mm belt) ánd the weak deck armor might indeed be a bit much. I think the rationale behind it was that the armor scheme of Hood was kinda outdated. Still, in gaming terms this would put her at armor 6 for plunging fire at extreme range, making her weaker than intended.

I think I like the weak deck armor negative though since that was a fact that even the captain understood, trying to close the distance to Bismarck as soon as possible. So I'll probably put her back to armor 8 with the weak deck armor modifier. I'll include it in the next release.
