We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined.

it is a BEAST - I'm intrigued by the extra 900 tons barbette re-inforcement - how used + why needed?

- does this mean 'normal' designs without re-inforcement are sub-standard in some sense?

The barbettes are designed to accept guns substantially more powerful than the ones currently mounted; I'd consider anything up to 40cm/L60 as possible to see from the Maori in the future, with either a 900 or 1000 kg shell.

Then I'd just sim the ship as if with 40cm guns at the first place.

Which SS2 would take as meaning 40cm/L40, which'd weigh only, what, two thirds as much? Less, given differing construction and recoil issues?

SS2 doesn't pay attention to gun length only bore size.
