I am curious for the MWC rules and how they would work for RC. Aside form the rules already in play, do these rules have historical specs and performance data as thier reasoning?
...
I am curoius if MWC ruls takes all this into account.
MWC (& IRCWCC) allow only 1 caliber of gun & 1 thickness of "armor". Big Gun & Queen's Own generally allow a variety of each, but with limitations. Nobody accounts for the variety of armament & armor to the depth you describe.
The big issues are administration, reference, & testing for compliance. Everything that's required has to have a corresponding test & some sort of credible (or at least agreed-upon) reference to test against. As a practical matter, you can't go into so much detail that the process gets bogged down & there wouldn't be time for anything but testing ("judging"?). The object, after all, is to get ships (& people) into combat, so there's a real need to keep the certification process streamlined & moving.
