Twelve main guns with only one fire-control center

The Italian design's heavy battery depends on one vulnerable fire-control center, while its bridge also has an obstructed view.

Notes

The twelve-gun Italian design has only one fire-control center. A disabling hit there would leave the turrets relying on their own aiming arrangements. HMS Rodney is invoked as the imagined opponent capable of destroying that forward position. The view from the bridge is also obstructed in the game model. These weaknesses qualify the earlier judgment that superior main-battery firepower makes this the winning design.
