BTW this is in SS3 I was playing with it today

I'm confused by the main armament - is it two single 8" guns, or two triple 8" guns, or what?

You definitely need to add some miscellaneous weight for flag facilities, torps, and wireless. 

[Tanthalas]

It is supposed to be 2 trip 8" guns, and it's just an ss3 first draft, I was trying to learn the program.  The confusion over the guns is the fact that it will allow you to mount main guns in casemates, and if you don't put any value it won't count the guns weight, and causes that mess lol but I know it still needs misc weight what would an Italian ship be without 100-150 tons of misc weight lol.

I was posting it because I pointed out earlier I found an interesting bug

[The Rock Doctor]

That could be a problem...

[Ithekro]

Hmmm.  Hopefully that will be fixed before it causes great confusion.
