I will comment on the guns in the crow's nests. The barrels are pointed upwards? I believe the (shipbucket) standard is to have them straight aft or forward if possible.
Possible, In anycase, I did remade them, along with many parts of the ships, in addition to the guns, some color modifications, and many other redraws, I finished the shrouds and the corrected the boats, some railing modifications too. The ships, all 3 versions of them are now officially ready:

The fore and top yards doesn't have black outlines.
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.
That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error

Yes, cause they are not as thick as the lower yards, as seen also here:

They still need black outlines.

Well, this was my very first battleship, and I learned so much with my last half a dozen pre dreadnoughts, I had to revisit it.
Not so much technical corrections, rather a rebuilt to be closer to reality.
I redraw the under water hull completely
The forward funel is corrected with the funnel cap open
completely redrawn the bridge and the guns beneath it
some changes in the hull details and color changes
many additional details
corrected some shrouds
redraw the boats completely
added flag with a ouline, which might need to be removed though.
And many more
I'll also upgrate similary the Psara
