The revised Dreadnought design tests turret positions, beam and tower placement around its 13.5-inch battery. Narrowing the beam requires changes to the superstructure, while six-inch guns occupy more of the available space. Roll is the side-to-side motion, and pitch is the fore-and-aft rocking motion. The game's pitch value remains high even after the fore-and-aft weight balance becomes acceptable. Adjusting armour can improve the weight offset without solving that separate problem, leaving the quality of the gun platform in doubt.

Dreadnought hull balance, roll and persistent pitch
The game design distinguishes static weight balance from roll and pitch: correcting the weight offset leaves persistent pitching to solve.
