Lothringen, Southern Superpower

@Elf177 - those are still single 4" on the Himmel, they are the original 4" guns mounted on the Lion. If he wants 6", then he needs to fit the 6" guns off the RN Weapons Sheet. 12 would be enough.

Himmel class battlecruiser has been edited

That looks much better. You still have 16x6" not 14. I would remove the double storey mount under B mounting and lower B mount 3-4 pixels (so that it sits down closer to the top of A mounting, also lowers the topweight). Then join the line from the masthead to the turret.

This is your best drawing work so far, well done.

I think you should maybe add a flag ? or something to make it definitely your nations would round out a nice ship

(I would agree with lowering the B gun)

Here is the LS Himmel but now flying the proud colors of the Lothringenese Federal Navy (The anchor on the flag is reserved for flagships)

Well done!

That is one powerful looking battlecruiser.

Jutland class armoured cruiser, Lothringen's protectors
The Lothringenese Federal Navy seeing armoured cruisers that were now coming into service in other navies decided to have cruisers of their own. So by 1905, the Jutland class armoured cruisers were born. This class had a main battery of six 8 inch guns and a second battery of four 6 inch guns. It was protected by 8 inches of belt armour and 2.5 inches of deck armour. It has a top speed of 23 knots to 2 shafts powered by 2 steam engines. All ships were scrapped by 1919.
