[REL] Regia Marina - Cesare \ Cavour class batteships - 2021 edition

[VonDos]

Hi everyone!

I'm glad to release this revised, reworked, repainted and again improved mod: Cesare \ Cavour class italian battleships (Giulio Cesare and Conte di Cavour), as they were extensive reconstructed in 1933-1937!

This is the second of a serie of revised units for Regia Marina, a major work who started after i've start a collaboration with flush deck, in order to "homogenise" various italian warships i've released during a lot of years, and assure a standard quality level for all of them.


As you can see, i've tryed to improve units, adding 3D details like doors, portholes, cables, rails, stairs, liferats, fixing small design flaws, taking care of "historically accurate" side, etc.
The goal is have a standard level for all my Regia Marina units released until now, and eventually for future releases

Thank you.
To my knowledge: Is this a kind of optimization, or double 0901 can cause problems?
Almost every unit i see until now had similar double entries with apparently no problem

I didn't pay attention to this detail before, until I looked at LSH. The principle is the same everywhere, as with the equipment.

Thanks for your reply
So, it's a simple optimization, well.
If we can make an easy improvent, let's improve!

I've reuploaded Cesare class and Duilio class also, with this improvement; this is Cesare class:
