Hi cvbbdd,

OK, I can accept that, but the placement of guns here isn't good. Look, I've made a picture to illustrate what I think the problem is. The red areas are areas where your 5 inch guns can't shoot. So anything small outside of 40mm range is unlikely to get hit - like a destroyer, for instance. I think it's a little off-centered, and a bit rough-and-ready, but I hope you can see what I'm trying to show you.



Do you see what I mean?

Regards,
Adam

That's not what's important...will you please give us an internal arrangement schematics of your cruiser's engine and boiler rooms? I can tell you already, that you've got one helluva big obstruction in your way...(guess what I'm referring to!)

I will just take that center one out. I try to leave room for engines but my need for firepower gets the best of me.

Remove the centerline 40mm mount and replace it with a aft funnel, otherwise you have a cramped machinery space for only one small gun
