How would you arrange a five-turret battlecruiser?
Short answerPut three turrets forward and two aft, raise C turret, and space A and B so B can fire over A at maximum gun elevation.
NotesOne proposed layout places three turrets forward and two aft, with the machinery between the groups. C turret would be raised above A and B turrets, which would sit at the same level. Enough separation between A and B would allow B's guns to fire over A when elevated to their maximum. The arrangement is intended to give all three forward turrets a firing opportunity over the bow, subject to that spacing and elevation condition.
