In 1925, T2x203/50cal are dispo for Byzantine cruisers
Here is a Byzantine "HMS Exeter".

I do not happen to be a fan of the 8" gun, or 3T2 arrangement though,
The 8"/50 should 'beat' my Royal Neissan's 180L47s & thicker armor at very long range,
there is a probably a couple thousand yard band where it is favorable.....if you can get and keep that range.
but the 3T2 may hurt Fire control, as you can't sustain a 4 shell ladder. Which makes hitting at that range difficult.
At other ranges, I think the ROF difference between 6x8" and 12x 180 will quite favor my ships.

The 76 and 47 are listed as QF.
When adjudicating battles, if you want AA, they should be AA.

As always though, the Byzantine vessels are formidable.

I do not happen to be a fan of the 8" gun, or 3T2 arrangement though,
The 8"/50 should 'beat' my Royal Neissan's 180L47s & thicker armor at very long range,
there is a probably a couple thousand yard band where it is favorable.....if you can get and keep that range.
but the 3T2 may hurt Fire control, as you can't sustain a 4 shell ladder. Which makes hitting at that range difficult.
At other ranges, I think the ROF difference between 6x8" and 12x 180 will quite favor my ships.

The 76 and 47 are listed as QF.
When adjudicating battles, if you want AA, they should be AA...

Your right, & I 'm not fan for these designs.

203 & 234 turrets & 30kts are too heavy for 8000t.
