I'm too new in this hobby to really give any solid opinion, but I'd love to be able to arm all guns. Of course, I'm having enough trouble getting what I've got to fit in the hull.

As for the Littorio, according to MWCI rules, she's not a 7 class, she's a 6 class with 6.5 battle units. The key here is that we go by standard tonnage, not full load tonnage. Otherwise, I'd have a class 6 Rivadavia. Who do you have from Minnesota? I'm assuming they are in or near the cities. Because we are fast gun, it's a nasty feeling to get in the sights of a triple stern. Just to drive straight across can mean 15 hits or more. OUCH!! If a fast gun ship is built right and has a really good pump, some can take over 100 hits before going down. On the MWCI site, link to the southeast squadron and check out the video on the "all versus nagato" it's a really good sink.

It'd have been better if an allied ship went down.

haha That's a moltke that's turning the sides of the nagato in to swiss cheese, using twin aft mount.
