YES I really wish you could get ships without rigging !

As to your ship good but,
- I might move the funnels forward (to make more space for engine rooms behind them
(you will have a layout stern/Mag/ER/BR/BR/space/Mag/bow, might as well make space as small as possible)

- I might also fit a few small guns 75mm/88mm on the top deck for anti torpedo boat work. (and then later AA)

- I might move the rear search light out of the funnel fumes (or its crew might get a bit hot :( ) (I would put behind mast but moving funnels might be sufficient)

The secondary armament on the hull isn't sufficient?

Also: now that is a problem I have seen on real ships, and nothing a refit can't fix.

If you're referring to casemate guns, I don't see your point?

It was quite normal for designs between 1890 up to 1915 to be equipped with tertiary anti-torpedo boat guns
Just look at any Russian pre-dreadnought (or even the German dreadnoughts Nassau or Helgoland classes, which contained both 15-cm secondaries and 8.8-cm tertiaries)

it was only through combat that admirals realized how unrealistic it was to mount tertiary guns atop turrets without even a shield

I've added 6 88mm guns to the upper deck area.

RE moving funnels and ER/BR stuff
[ img ]

I think at the moment (1) you have a lot of empty room out front.

You can ether move just the funnels and stuff inside (2) or move the guns as well (3) both will give you much more space and a better layout IMO.

...Design flaw!

I'll fix that in this next round of edits I make to the Solzisvy, after I finish up a little something else...

The little something else has been finished.
