Thanks for all the comment

I suspect the superstructure and especially bread just going to run into problems with the beam. I certainly had issues with a similar wedge shaped structure on my supersized Peder Skram. Have you tried drawing a topview?
Sterling work otherwise.


I was hoping there was space, since the ship is a little more wider that you're Peder Skram. The other point is that I do not think the superstructure to be so beamy.

But I'll have a look.

At worst removing the 135mm mounts abeam the bridge might solve the beam issues.
Magnificent work anyway!

I made an simple top view, with very simple shading

I didn't add the boats, but at some point, I will

Hi Heuhen!

Very original design and impressively rendered, congratulations. This looks like an eminently seaworthy vessel.

But, if you don't mind, the top view shows a problem with the aviation facilities. I had similar arrangements on my Thiarian battleships, and they were a bitch to get right. The way they are placed now, the catapults can't swivel far enough outward to launch the aircraft without striking the bridge structure, because the cranes are in the way; the way they are placed now, you can't even place an airplane in launch position without its wings getting entangled with the crane cables.

My two cents: You'll probably want to move the catapults as far outboard as possible, maybe even sponson their bases out like the Japanese did on their heavy cruisers, and replace the twin cranes with a single, larger crane on the centerline. Or you go for a single centerline catapult and retain two smaller cranes, but that would kill deck space aft of the funnel which could otherwise be used to store boats or a third plane, for no gain. Another solution would be a single cat on one side and a single crane on the other, as in the original draft for the French De Grasse, which would leave ample space for boats or spare planes on the crane side.

Greetings
GD

I can go for a single catapults, on one side and crane on the other side. For then on a latter upgrade (MLU) have an improved aviation facility and rearrangement on light weaponry.
