Why a quad-turret Littorio is an unlikely Italian choice

Would a real Italian successor to Littorio be likely to use quadruple turrets?

Probably not; Italy would more likely choose larger guns in triple turrets than accept the complications of quads.

The historically framed game design prompts a comparison of national turret choices rather than a claim about a real Italian project. Britain accepted quads to place twelve desired 14-inch guns in three mountings under treaty limits, although a four-triple arrangement would have been mechanically easier. France used quads for its own distinctive design reasons. Italy would more likely prefer a larger calibre in triple turrets because quad machinery adds complexity without matching the design incentives described here.
