The game's mixed battery gives way to a heavily protected German capital ship with twelve 15-inch guns. Triple turrets require an explicit counterfactual in which Germany obtains the mounting from Skoda, while the hull remains narrow and relatively slow because it must pass through the Kiel Canal. Torpedo calibre, fire control, machinery, armour, and crew quality impose further constraints alongside displacement. The finished design approximates the largest credible German answer to the British Queen Elizabeth Maximus within the chosen historical limits.
