Its the number of large-calibre guns that is worrying, not the smaller 210mm ones. You could always nick the 210mm guns from the Army's heavy artillery.

Of course saving the guns you remove from scraped ships is always an option, Atlantis gained tons of 12" and 9.2" guns that way.

Hmm, I wonder if, given the expected short battle ranges of the Baltic and Nordsee, if Krupp would want to have a look at the Philippines' 305/55 weapon?

Anyway, I'm not certain why it's OK for Italy to have 48 guns of 12" and larger and it's problematic for Germany to have 30, when Germany was the country that got invaded from the sea in WW WWI.

Heh, not after the VT, I can't, not to mention that the Heere's future 210mm is a howitzer, not a gun, and not over-useful as an anti-shipping weapon.

Italy was considerably stronger in the pred-dreadnought era. She's gone from being 2nd strongest to about 8th or so now. The guns are just a consequence of that. Bear in mind that the longest 12" guns are 40-cal. Those 8 are mounted near Bab al Mandab. A few more 40-cal weapons, then much shorter older weapons. Some of them are 17-cal guns. And the fact that Sicily has more coastline than Germany.

It depends. All those 280mm howitzers near the straits of Messina will punch nicely through people's decks
