The game's Michelangelo combines quadruple 12.6-inch guns with quadruple secondary mountings around an unusually short citadel. The arrangement draws on a paper design, described more narrowly as a single set of documents. There is disagreement over whether checking those documents establishes that the layout works. The main objection is the space left for machinery around the barbettes, especially with a stated game speed of 33 knots. Battleship-like hit points are another feature of its game representation.

Testing Michelangelo's paper design against engineering space
Michelangelo's paper provenance does not resolve disagreement over whether its short citadel leaves enough machinery space for 33 knots.
