The first battle view exposes a German-looking superstructure on the available Soviet hull. An Italian-style form would better suit the imagined 1935 vessel. The nationality of the game's visual parts can pull the silhouette away from the design logic behind it. The on-screen ship remains a game approximation of a counterfactual.

The first test exposes a modelling limit: the available Soviet hull produces a German-looking silhouette when an Italian-style superstructure would better fit the counterfactual.
