The reconstruction tries to reproduce the proposed fourteen 5.9-inch 50-calibre secondary guns, with seven weapons on each broadside despite the game's casemate restrictions. The virtual mount is chosen to approximate the historical barrel length instead of accepting the first available gun. Machinery is another historical constraint: the ship is oil-fired, though it does not need the excessive engine power initially offered by the design screen. Moving funnels, superstructure, and beam reveals how even a battery-focused reconstruction depends on the whole hull arrangement.
