Agincourt receives a hypothetical 45-calibre 18-inch gun, extending the direction of British gun development. The historical 18-inch weapon fitted to HMS Furious had been cut down for its mounting, an experience that helps frame the design assumption. In the simulation, Agincourt's armor-piercing range is about 33.3 kilometers, compared with about 28.3 kilometers for the American 16-inch/50 guns. The game settings follow a plausible extension of British gun development, although no such weapon was completed historically.

Furious and the British 18-inch gun assumption
A hypothetical 45-calibre British 18-inch weapon gives Agincourt a modeled range advantage over the American 16-inch/50 guns.
