Shouldn't the guns look like this?

Something like this ^_^

You know, Duilio and Cavour class had 320guns instead 381 of littorio class, btw design is similar!

(What a nice model in your image! °_°)

The Doubles are nearly done.

I started the Italian Guns just after the Averof Guns were released.

I didn't know this, but i've started an italian battleship...
Ok, i'm from Italy, but this "randomness" is interesting :hmm:

Von Dos,

You are the man! I needed an Andrea Doria class battleship bad and Cavour class! Right now there's no IT BBs or Heavy Cruisers in that weight class.

(I am right now in the middle of scripting the First Battle of Sirte. I'll put them both to immediate use when you're done with them.)
