Well I can't exactly pile battleship-level armour onto a cruiser hull, now can I? I did include explosive reactive armour to defend against shaped charges. Besides, most surface combatants these days are smallarms-proof only, making this ship automatically more armoured. Anyways, how much armour do you think I could put onto a cruiser for it to be considered properly protected?
