RE: Newbie here, how does it all work?
The lower you go the more the aboves become belows[sm=drowning.gif]. I guess the 1/2" wouldn't make that much difference[sm=lol.gif]. However, you indicated light ships. BBs the same? Or are you one of those 1/72ers?
If my Lake Shore had only 1/2" below, her total penetrable area to a side would be a little strip about 18"x1/2". Not a huge target. Currently about 18"x1" is pretty tough. But my son finds the soft spots[:@].
