This is my biggest ship so far.
She is heavy a WIP.


P.S please ignore the line to the left of the ship.

This is ruddy stupid

How so?

Oh God. I don't know where I would start if I could actually be bothered to start. Why don't you invest your time in more feasible designs...

Why I ran the number (not though springsharp) and it works.

Then what numbers did you run?
Those guns will need deeper barbettes than you have hull for btw.
Also, oh my god, the sheer number of windows. You realise every single one of those is a weak point? why do you have so many?

The most important rule for all ship designers and engineers. hold the gravity point as low as possible.

First guns: the hull will not be able to carry them, you must have a ship that is at least four times as large! and then it's no point anymore.

Take for example Super Yamato (A-150) their 51cm guns just the cannon tower alone would weigh 2,736 tons and be of the races would weigh 223.4 tons, and the guns would be mounted in 3 * double guntower, on a ship is 263.0 m, and firing time for those guns would be about 1 to 1.5 rounds per minute. Now how heavy do you think your guns will be and how do you think it will affect the gravity point of the ship.

beam would have to be 210+ feet wide. Even so, there is a danger of the hull snapping because of four massive holes in it.
