The story: The Germans won WWI and this is a 1940's design for the Kaiser Wilhelm II Class BB. She is incomplete and I am asking for any advice, pointers, or any other help with bringing this design to life. http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/4016/bbnew.png |

It looks like a Bismarckish hull (so you are going in the right direction), whats the armament? |

18" guns in twin turrets. I havn't decided on a secondary armament though. |

This is also a design that I plan to make all on my own, i.e. not using other people's parts. |

Hmmm... I think I would by-pass the Bismark's poor secondary/tertiary gun layout. If the Germans had won WWI, they would have been keeping pace with the latest trends in battleship design- including dual-purpose gun mounts. Not sure which caliber they would have chosen for their DP mountings,though... they didn't really have a caliber suitable for that besides 127mm. |

I could make a custom 127mm that was german style. |

I would recommend moving the fore turrets fore by a few meters so the superstructure is not cramped, you have a lot of space on the foredeck |

Perhaps use these turrets as base. Not my crapy old ones from 2009: http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s340 ... irpitz.png |

I put in her details on springsharp. Turns out she needs some minor revision in the hull to make her seaworthy |
