Colo, would you mind posting them? The only ones I can find are the old ones. As for the 2 line barrel, the 57mm gun has a single line barrel.

That's the twin Bofors. This is similarly scaled to the quad mount, and taken directly from a Friedman's drawing in US Cruisers (scaled appropriately, of course). In my mind it is perfectly adequate to represent the system and does not need reworking; if you guys want to do that, knock yourselves out, but I will not be replacing anything on my ships. I know what I'm doing.

The quad mount is somewhere in the USN Systems thread, even though the OP hasn't been updated in literally years it seems. Tim is too busy watching children's cartoons to get work done on it.

I'm more confused about the scale difference between the 40mm & the 57mm guns

Big problem right now is that I do need to redraw the entire sheet - and I am working on it. ETA is sometime after my name gets added to the staff list on the main site and/or my Sennheisers get back from service.

the twin 40mm colo showed is good. its as ive understood in rigth scale. Problem comes that despite it should show the largest mount for the gun, most of the single barrel versions used in the bucket are considerably larger

Also, the watercooled 40mm's should have two-pixel thick barrels as presented.

That's because some variants of the 40mm had a rather large water cooling shroud around them. The air-cooled 40mm guns are drawn with one pixel wide barrels.

Well, what was commonly used on US vessels? Water-cooled or air? And thanks for explaining it everyone!

The USN used water cooled primarily.

The twin mounts were almost allways watercooled (Colo's drawing for example). Only some models sold pre-WWII to navies of Poland and Yugoslavia for examble had air-cooled twin mounts on. In otherhand, single mounts with watercooled barrels also existed but not so commonly, and most of the variety of all 40mm L-60 model single mounts were aircooled.
I think all L-70 models that were made postwar were air cooled.

Thank you for educating me, Golly, I appreciate it.
