The first Baltic Confederation Dreadnougth

[ledeper]

Once again to the drawing board lol.lol

[Tanthalas]

You'll get used to it lol.  It is a very rare ship that gets posted that someone cant find a flaw in.

[ledeper]

How do you make turrets superfiring?

Now change ONE thing - you seem to have put in 8 superfiring guns. Write in 4 (four). Don't change anything else. And let us see what happens ....

Warning: Raised guns + low guns > total guns - Main battery???

The total number you have checked in gun "above deck" and "below deck" are greater then the total number of guns.
You want 4 raised guns, no more no less. ;)

Thin out the end armour, add 3 feet to the Upper Belt, and you've got it made. Better than my suggestion.
Of course, the issue of Type 2 Slips and Drydocks stands.

ya like i said just a throw together im working on homework atm, so i didnt put a whole lot of effort into her ya know.  unlike my light 14" ship that i spent my whole class working on lol
