Some questions about armor

[GeneralVikus]

Hey guys, a few questions about armour in the game:

1. Is the 'inner belt' treated as being sloped, as in the sloped portions of an armored deck? 

2. Do the inner belt and deck contribute to mitigating flooding? I originally assumed otherwise, but a few tests suggest that ships with inner belts / decks appear to suffer less flooding.

1. Certain armor schemes apply a "sloped armor" buff. There are also some techs in the tree that mention sloped armor too.

2. I don't think it makes any difference other than checking to see if the shell penned completely. If full pen below the waterline, then flooding. That's just my observations.
