The battle introduces a six-gun British battlecruiser and German cruisers fitted with triple turrets. Those German mountings are explicitly ahistorical and serve as a design comparison inside the simulation. Concentrating the British guns forward lets the ship present a narrower profile while keeping its full main battery in action. A triple mounting is more complicated than a twin, yet it can deliver 50 percent more firepower from roughly the same deck and hull space. The third gun also needs 50 percent more ammunition, so the compact arrangement still carries weight and support costs.

Why triple turrets change the main-battery equation
The simulated German triple turrets are explicitly ahistorical, but they show how a third gun increases firepower within roughly the same deck and hull space, with added ammunition and mechanical demands.
