Germany could adopt Austro-Hungarian triple turrets

German designers examined Austro-Hungarian triple-turret practice, so a delayed war leaves adoption possible even though it was historically rejected.

Question

Could Germany use Austro-Hungarian triple turrets if the war were delayed?

Short answer

Potentially; German designers examined them historically but chose not to adopt them.

Notes

The technology transfer is plausible because the design was already considered rather than invented for the counterfactual. Adoption would still require Germany to reverse its historical preference and fit the mounting into a wider capital-ship design.
