Here's the Myogi and Ishizuchi

The Myogi is an enlarged version of the B-40 battlecruiser designed armed with 6x14"/45 guns, 16x152mm guns and four 76mm guns in single open mounts. Speed was to be 27kts. Armor was typical for a battlecruiser of the era. I changed the shape of the bow to a more approprate Japanese bow, which is also used on the real preliminary designs. I also made some changes to the location of the 76mm guns and replaced the two cranes and boat storage on/near the fore tripod for two boats on davits, on each side.



The Ishizuchi is the desgin B-46, or Vickers Design 472C. It has ten British 305"/50 guns, 16x152mm guns in casemates and 4x76mm guns. In just about every other respect it's the same as the Kongo as originally built. Due to her being British-built, I chose to use the Royal Navy 507 Very Dark Grey color scheme. I also replaced the in-game use of the old 45-caliber guns as used on the Dreadnought/Bellerophon/Invincible/Indefatigable classes for the 50 caliber gun and turret as used on the St.Vincent/Neptune/Colossus.

Nice!

Bueatiful Myogi. The old one needed to be updated and now we've got a new one to replace it. Just curious if you were going to be doing the Myogi upgrades that it gets in WoWS?

Here's the Satsuma, the 8-gun version of the A-150:


And the Republique, a larger upgunned battleship based on the Gascogne:

WOW. Just...WOW. Especially Satsuma!

The Patrie is an enlarged ship over the Republique, having three quad 431mm turrets as opposed to two. She also trades the 127mm guns for the newer 100mm gun in a fictional twin mount.


The Shikishima is the smaller of the A-150 designs, basically a Yamato, but with 6x20" guns and a secondary and AA layout more reminiscent of hull No.797, the fifth and last of the Yamato class.

Awesome!

Grosser Kurfürst is an elongated H-41 design using the real design for a triple turret mounting the 40,6cm (later rebored to 42cm) gun. Grosser Kurfürst has the standard array of 12x15cm guns, and has DP 12,8cm guns in twin mounts. Medium AA is 5,5cm gun and 20mm Flakvierling.



The Preussen is the exact same ship, but uses a fictional 45,7cm gun in twin turret.

Absolutely beautiful!
