With regards to 130 vs. 105. Italians have calculated that the 130mm/45? gun is about 80-90% more effective than the 105/65 in the anti-surface role"?
Quoted
The 130/45 is only about 50% more effective than the 100/65 in ASuW and about 30% less effective for AA.
Quoted
Likely threats? The French and Greek destroyers are all fairly small. The 152mm is not neccessary as there are no contre-torpilleurs like Le Fantasque
Quoted
She's a powerful ship, but doesn't strike me as being any more capable than the older Memnon or Ophion, for example.
Quoted
The 130/45 has stayed the same. The 100/65 and 105/65 are different weapons with different performances.
Quoted
Better firepower from the 381/50 guns. A bit faster than Memnon. Greatly superior armour than Ophion or Memnon. More survivability. Of course she isn't a massive improvement, but thats because the displacement is fixed at 40.000tons.

The Italians use superheavy 381mm shells for their 50 caliber guns? Guess we need to read "barrel wear" between the lines....
Quoted
(Btw, I´d like to have values NOT modified here. What´s the deck armor thickness entered in SS?)
Quoted
And finally your design lacks adequat CT armor - which means your command stuff will have hard times when "unfriendly" shells are comming in.
Quoted
Same for her deck armor (Btw, I´d like to have values NOT modified here. What´s the deck armor thickness entered in SS?)

Of course, the historical Italian 15"/50 with this 885 kg projectile WAS a terrible barrel-burner: it had an expected barrel life of only 110-130 rounds.
Quoted
I read about German semi-Automatic guns in the late 1920s... so how was the german experience with those guns. I would expect that the Italians (and the Japanese as well) would have the same problems as the Germans.

they were included on the 15 cm/45 (5.9") Tbts KL/45 that the S.113-class large torpedoboats of the German Navy was building at the end of WWI, the two that were completed were transferred to France and Italy as part of the Versailles Treaty.
