Quad Turrets/ All Guns foward

[Fog_Heavy_Cruiser_Takao]

It would be nice to have both French and British style quad barrel turrets in the game. As well as the ability to mount the entire superstructure and barbettes farther back on the ship.

 

Yes I know Normandie never existed but the turret design did, and a big point of the game is to build whatever ship you want.

This would also allow for historic styles of armored cruisers that had a single set of large caliber guns forward, and then a set of a different caliber aft aside from the secondaries. 

An example of such a ship would be the armored cruiser Kasuga which had a 10" gun in a single forward turret, and then two 8" guns aft in a twin turret.

Huh, I'd thought that a mixed main battery fore and aft wasn't possible with the current set up. Guess that's what I get for going by older videos instead of being able to try it out in game.

You can do mixed batteries, however you take an accuracy penalty when doing so. The game disincentivizes you so you don't do this, but you can still do it for historical sake.

When I was playing with the design features I wondered about this.  Hoping it becomes possible as Richelieu is one of my favorite battleships and would love to design such a ship.
