Thanks for that advice, I would have recommended that, too. But there are so few original pixels left that I, according to the SB rules, did not credit anybody else.

There's no need for the elevated helicopter platform you've drawn - all of the postwar USN BB's operated helicopters right from the stern.
This drawing is starting to get interesting, although I'm confused as to what 3" auto you think you're using. They look like mangled 40mm mounts to me.
I agree with erik here. It's definitely becoming really interesting and worthwhile to observe! Just tweak out those little anomalies that he mentioned and we are having a really nice series of realistic super battleships!

Oh, I forgot, there are more time appropriate helicopters to have in the help sheets. You can even use HMS Göta Lejon's chopper; the big one that is!
