Okay, I'm new here, so take it easy on me.



The Hull and superstructure is H.Heuser's so credit goes to him for that.

Question: Would there be enough room for the six 18.1 inch turrets or would i have to cut down on them/ Extend the length of the hull.

I'd also like to request some assistance with some tips on how to detail the Superstructure, as I have never been good at nitty-gritty details.

First let me welcome you aboard, and now for the critique
One , never use JPEG to upload your drawings. Use GIF or PNG instead. If your image hosting site does not support this function use either majhost, imageshack or photobucket.
In my opinion six twin turrets is way too much on the hull. Four turrets is more than enough. Secondary armament looks too modern for a battleship, use something else.

I think that is a 18" Japanese Turret on the Yamato Class. 18 guns is seriously overkill for most circumstances and I recommend more secondaries for a ship this size.

Yes, welcome aboard With the design, the hull is really quite good, so you've got the basics for an interesting design; my advice would be to accept any advice and see what you can develop here.

She can't carry 6 turrets. when i designed her with 5 turrets, I was designing her to the limit, and had to reduce on armor and engine size. but with 4. turrets you culd increas armor and engines, so she can survive a gunfight easy.

I do fully understand that 6 18" cannons are overkill, and came here knowing people would "yell" at me for doing so, but thats just how i'm used to making things. A lot of things i've built normally involve over-sized/impractical/overkill Designs, but thats just how I roll.

So would it be possible to Either Lengthen/Widen the Hull to allow the 6 turrets to stand, or is there no chance for them at all?
And for the secondaries, I thought those were the ones used on the Iowa, but maybe not? Anyways, i switched them out for the Mk.32's.

But say I were to Remove the 2 of the turrets, could that open room for say a 12"?

The secondary are way too modern, they are 1970 + or something.

Really? I got them from the WWII USN Parts Sheet....
Ehh, I'll switch 'em.

You got them from the Post WW2 parts sheet (they are the Mk 45 Mod 4s). You'll want something like the Mk 12 5"/38 twin, or the Mk 16 5"/54 single, or, when I find it, the twin version of the Mk 16 (It's someplace on my hard drive).

You have far too much topweight. Super-duper-firing 18" triples demands a pretty comical hull, something like a Malaccamax container ship.
