Okay, first I would like to thank everyone for putting up with my stubbornness, so firstly, I'm going to be keeping a version as-is just for my personal likes, and I will start working on a different version, more practical and realistic.

So far as for the Armaments, I'm going to be using four triple 16 inches, and some 127mm's. Question for heuhen, what was the maximum capacity of armaments you could expect for this ship? should I just follow what the Superior has?

Whew, this took awhile. So the Previous WIP was too far in to modified majorly, so I started over pretty much. :P

Points of Interest/Help
-The Main Cannons are 16 inch LRAM Customs.
-Did I put too many Secondaries?
-For the rest of the Superstructure, it's pretty much going to be copy and pasting from the previous version.
-Anything else?

What is this nonsense you have wrapped around your main battery gun barrels?

Presumably it's so they can't elevate.

The single secondary battery turret is also a, uh, curious touch.

Stabilizers and stuff.
Are both those Stabilizers preventing elevation or just the top/bottom?
That single secondary is just a place holder for now, It'll probably be something more similar to the rest of the secondaries

Just my opinion, but any main gun that requires "stabilizers" to function, probably shouldn't be a main gun. For anything. And honestly, it looks rather cartoonish, like something out of a bad anime.

A single 16-inch naval rifle weighs something like 250,000 pounds alone. Now imagine that big honking piece of metal fitting snugly into a huge, well-built turret. Seems like it be rock solid steady to me. Just food for thought :)

For everyone curious, this is a top-down view of how I would think the 16" would work.

Sorry for it being so large, but with little stuff, it's going to be a cumulative work in progress over the time.
But as I pictured it there, the P-406 HW, even though of the stabilizers, the cannons will still be able to elevate and such.

My best guess: future-cool greebles.

(and no, I'm not trying to troll)

Alright, I think I'm getting closer....

Questions:
- What should I do with the Aft space? I was thinking a catapult, but I want it to look more interesting than just slapping one on.
- What should I do with the Bow Space?
- Do I have too many secondaries?
- Anything I should add to the Superstructure?
- Also, What Kind of Radars were used back in WWII 1940's?
