Have simulated these designs in springsharp...would be interesting to see if the work out
Oh yes, I don't know how to work with springsharp, would you do please? I'm very interested about the result!
The 15"-turret weight is 1052 tons the 16"-turret of H-39 shall weight 1475 tons? I can't take that. My Waldersee uses an own turret, slightly lenghtened with not more armor. So I think the weight should be some 1200 tons per turret max.
The added radars plus needed equipment could make another 1000 tons, the enlarged tower might be about 500 tons. The widened hull makes a plus of maybe 1500 tons. That should make 3-4000 tons of additional weight.
edit: I forgot the larger barbettes. So it will be 4000 tons.
Ok...
I need her dimensions (length, beam, draught, freeboard, bulges?), displacement (or block coefficent), top speed, range, cruisning speed, full arnament(caliber and numbers, type mount) and armour thickness(ends, belt, deck, bulkheads), misc. weights such as radars, aircraft..and I will have a go.
