A player's proposed Graf Spee-like ship with quadruple 11-inch turrets prompts criticism of large multi-gun mountings. Managing their weight, shape, balance, and firing effects becomes increasingly complicated as guns are added. The objection concerns how firing one gun affects the others within the mounting. The game design is acknowledged as amusing and workable in the game, while its practicality as a real warship is rejected. A later contribution raises hull torsion as another concern.
