very few freeboard at the aft casemates, the rigging looks empty and the bridge too modern. also, your ship has no directors at all as far as I can see. the ship looks very low on the water......... and I am not certain about your tertiary armament positions and numbers.
last I miss some lights (both normal and navigational lights) and.... well, it might be just me, but I think something is wrong with her lines... this might just be the low freeboard and all, but still.... there are only 2 decks above the waterline at the bow, and 1.5 at the stern, so I would suggest you heighten them a bit up, that would improve the ship a lot. right now it looks like something build for speed (but still with an very wet bow), like an heavy armed cruiser, instead of an pocket battleship. this is still the same problem as I had in my first post in this thread.

then these directors are way too small, IMO. look at real designs, directors are HUGE most of the time.... unless this is an (pre-) WW1 battleship, which it isn't IIRC?

Stack looks to tall to me, and are these just big singles or multi gun turrets? I only ask because the turrets look to small for the guns.
Looking good over all however.

those are twin 14 inches. and the tall funnel is just part of my drawing style(my excuse is that the tall stack has things inside that increase the pressure at wich the exhaust is expelled from the funnel crating better draft for the boilers).

you didnt seem to mind the directors on the Avenger and they were smaller than these.

I did not mind those, because I don't have time to view every single ship!

I agree with Ace. You're primary directors are barely suitable as AA directors. And on that note you have no secondary or AA directors.

Looks like a russian black sea design. Let's see, what it will become finally.
