[KWorld]

I'd call those better.  On the defensive minelayer, you could probably shave the range enough to get an even 100 mines aboard, just for the ease of laying fields.

Managed to get the ship down to 220 tons (so I can have six of them) and give it 100 mines.

On the Tsesarevich Class Battleship in the encyclopedia:

1 - the guns are newer than the ship, that doesn't work very well when the ship hasn't been refitted.

2 - the 8" guns in the deck and hoist mounts fore and aft: what are these?  Generally, 8" is too big for a mount like this..... and if they were supposed to be stacked turrets like the Kearsarge, they should be raised mounts.

3 - the 8" casemate mounts - these WILL work, after all Scharnhorst's 8.2s did, but are you sure you want slower firing guns like this?  It means you only have the 3" guns as anti-TB defenses, and there's not enough of those....

[Tanthalas]

Seconded on all points, my new large cruisers mount 3" in conjunction with 4.7" guns, and I honestly plan to remove the 3" guns at her first refit, it will be a nice storyline reason but ill replace them with fewer 4.7" guns (I dont actualy anticipate finding the hull casemate issue mostly due to my service area being the med/IO both of which dont have heavy seas)

1. I changed the construction date of a few of my ships so they would be more realistically spaced. I thought that when changing the hull date it would change the date for everything else, just like it does with the engine. I'll check and see if there are similar issues with any other ships.

2. They are supposed to be Kearsarge stacked mounts, but I forgot to raise the mounts.

3. I know that is an issue, but I wasn't really sure where else I could safely put the smaller TB defense guns. The fighting tops probably can't accommodate any more than they have already, the casemate positions are of course full, and I am unsure if simply having open mounts amidships would make them difficult to operate due to the blast effects of the heavy casemate battery below and the smaller TB defense guns overhead. Would deck level casemates in the German style be the best place to put additional TB defense guns?

[Tanthalas]

Honestly Delta I cant give you a good answer short of drawing the ship (im not going to I still have to many of my own to draw/finish drawing) but you could rough somthing out even if your not up to the shipbucket level.  I draw every one of my ships because I have found sometimes things I did in spring sharp just dont make sence when I start drawing them (like the hull casemate 4.7" guns on the Gladius class WTF was I thinking...) so as I get them drawn I make corections to the spring sharp file then post a final with the picture.  One thing you might consider is hull end casemates for 3" guns (ALA German ACs and BBs, I have 4 per side on my new ACs)

[KWorld]

Just at a guess without udrawing things out, if you want to add additional 3" guns you're basically limited to 2 areas: main deck level casemates between the 8" turrets,(probably no more than 3 guns or so per side) or hull caxemates fore and aft of the 8" casemates (there'd be room for 4 per side or so)..    It'll be very bad to be an AC around this thing, I'll say that.

[Delta Force]

I already have five different weapons categories on the Tsesarevich class. How should I go about adding additional torpedo defense guns seeing as they will be in casemates? Add them as miscellaneous weight and make a note of them?

[Delta Force]

I had to update most of my BBs and ACs to change the 10"/45 and 8"/45 guns to 10"/40 and 8"/40 guns. While at it I decided to see how much miscellaneous weight the ships can hold as well, it suitable. Here are the BBs, minus Tsesarevich (still trying to figure out how to do six weapons systems on one ship).
