Wasn't using calculations per se, I was using historical armor figures which rated nickel-steel as about 30% stronger than iron as armor. Of course, that was mostly studying naval armor, at thicknesses vastly greater than any personal armor ever imagined, and may not be precisely equivalent to RHA, but it seemed a credible approximation.
