update #2

also i forgot, i'm reducing the amount of destroyers to 3

Eugh, that propeller, I'd seriously recommend looking for another

Also tone down the shading a bit, looks like very very sharp angles

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

do you like the turret i made

Honestly, that's the least of your concerns. Getting the actual ship more plausible would be a better start than drawing parts for it before it's finished.

It looks like it might work (but I'm not a super expert ) so well done.

But it does look more 1980s than 2010s (ie more like compact/MK 8 mod 0 than the LW/Mod1 )
What size is it ? (barrel looks 75/100/114mm ?)
When was it made ?
Who made it (real or AU ?)?

Just for ideas here is a set of turrets to compare with.


JSB

One thing I would say is to check the balance of the turret - looking at JSB's comparison, you can see that yours, I think, has quite a lot of weight at the barrel end but I'm not sure it has enough weight at the other end to balance the turret out - even if it doesn't, I suspect it's marginal, just something to be aware of.

is it okay if i add another goalkeeper in the front of the super structure?

You could move down the one you have (and that might help with weight being to high up).

But you don't need 3 goalkeepers on a DD (even 2 is more than a cheap ship (FF) will have).

JSB

Goalkeepers are quite a heavy-duty CIWS, as far as I understand (both in terms of affecting ship design and financially) - I know acelanceloet has advised that they're just about the most expensive CIWS in circulation at the moment. If you need the ship cheaper, perhaps a good place to start would be to use an alternate CIWS?
