The foreseen rules for the armoured flight decks would be like this:
- The chance to get an inoperative flight deck following a bomb hit drops from 75% to 25% per hit
- A bomb or shell has more chance to hit the deck area rather than the hangar area
Damage control is increase by 2 against a bomb hit, by 1 against a shell hit
