I realize the MG in the mast is an anachronism and I fully expect it to be removed soon after the ship is commissioned, I just prefer to include small errors here an there in an attempt to fight hindsight.

That could explain quite a lot.

In which case am I right to believe that the following leaves me with a twin 105mm at either end, 4 twin 25mm and 4 twin 13mm along the sides?

Armament:
4 - 4.13" / 105 mm 45.0 cal guns - 35.62lbs / 16.16kg shells, 300 per gun
Dual purpose guns in deck mounts, 1933 Model
2 x Twin mounts on centreline ends, evenly spread
8 - 0.98" / 25.0 mm 70.0 cal guns - 0.53lbs / 0.24kg shells, 300 per gun
Anti-air guns in deck mounts, 1935 Model
4 x Twin mounts on sides, evenly spread
8 - 0.51" / 13.0 mm 45.0 cal guns - 0.07lbs / 0.03kg shells, 500 per gun
Machine guns in deck mounts, 1933 Model
4 x Twin mounts on sides, evenly spread
Weight of broadside 147 lbs / 67 kg
Yes, it does.
It also means that they are all flat on deck level- meaning that all the guns are arranged along the same plane of fire. You'll get much better fields of fire if you elevate some of them. :D

See, now we are getting somewhere! So far everything here has been European, I could see the IJN making a Patrol Gunboat for themselves, anyone up to the challenge?

Whyme did that back on page 7- LOL!
The thread has gotten so long that we've started to miss stuff!
Seems to me that means the experiment was a success... yes?

Well here is my likley horibly flawed USA contribution to the thread. I did a Spring sharp for it but aparently forgot to save it... That said im not to sure about the Directors, or the Colors, but it mounts 4X6" in a twin fore and aft, 2 3" singles, and 4 Quad 1.1" AA along with the DC rack and the scout plane. She came in just under 1900 tons, and here she is.

Thanks! Note how she turned out a bit underarmed yet pretty fast and cheap.

Looks like you've used wrong parts.
Here is the 3" single [ img ] and here's the quad 1.1" [ img ]

Thanks, it should be fixed now, and added the guns to my parts sheet didnt have an actual 1.1 or 3" so I took a stab with some that were unlabled, interesting side note is that even with puting in all the weights for things I decided SS3 wasnt (including the plane, catapult, and crane) I still ended up with a fairly massive reserve.
