He can't see that image.

Three secondary calibres is completetly unnecessary and a complete waste of space and weight. 15", 11", and 6" is completly superflous. If you want something heavier than 6" I'd go for the 8"/60 used on the Admiral Hipper class. They were quite powerful for the calibre, as well as having a long range. Anything bigger would be more likely to get in the way.

Also, could you turn the ship around, so the bow points right and the aft points left? It's the standard for shipbucket.

Hi LordBladaime,

Also, still what looks to be a little pixel crap around aft funnel \ aft mast.

Agree with KHT re calibers, but I won't labour the point - I've already said (twice) why I think you'd get more mileage standardising on the 283mm as the secondary battery (though, to be fair, doesn't have to be the 283mm, just standardise on a calibre) so I figure going in to the details a third time is a little pointless...

So, instead, I'll ask, again, what do you want this ship to do? At the moment it's kind of a monument to WH40K, if that's what you want, great, if not, what are you aiming for? Can't help you get there if we don't know what you want...

Regards,
Adam

I have noticed something strange when I look at the H-45 and then at the H-44 and this is what I have discovered: the H-45 is a giant version of the H-44 so basically I am making a giant H-44 except with different size guns look:

I think you should set aside your current exercise, and work on something smaller first. Yes it has been said before (here, here, here, here, here, & here), but it labors repeating

Hi TJ,

To be honest, I'm inclined to just let LordBladaime go his own way at this point. I don't think he's going to be happy until this ship is finished, once he's done that, I'll start commenting again. At the moment I'm just monologuing and that _never_ ends well - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZRW9U07znE

Regards,
Adam

That thing's huge.. I tried doing a super (well, it wasn't super, just really long) battle-cruiser once, and that didn't go over too well. I mean, I finished it and it looked good and all, but.. didn't make a whole lotta sense...

BTW, as said above, you have 4 different calibers on this ship (not even including manned guns) 1 main battery, and 3 secondaries. That's a little... logistically complicated.
From what I've seen, 3 calibers is the max. 1 main (16-14), 2 secondaries (8 and 5) and 2 manned (40mm AA and .50 cal).
Someone may have to correct me on that, but that seems to be the limit.
