As title. The barbettes you include on towers and hulls should be able to mount barbettes on them to permit triple-superfiring designs and generally allow more customisable design work. At the very least, these positions should be able to mount barbettes their own size or smaller, or have selectable heights and girths (including "none."). The French super battleships being able to mount a barbette behind the hull barbette can be charitably deemed very silly. If these tower/hull barbettes didn't get in the way I would dislike them far less. I see this as a necessary stepping stone on the road towards truly customisable designs. -
As title. Would prefer there to be a handful of adjustable barbettes than a huge list of niche-use ones. I'd prefer to have each barbette be adjustable in height, girth and therefore what it can allow the turret atop to fire over (and naturally the weight of such of barbette) and also mount. I can't get barbettes to go to triple superfiring for main-calibre guns and I'd like to on monster hulls; I'd like to create light ships with stacked weapons too, and in current patch this is unavailable. Might also intersect with sunken mounts; where giving a barbette a negative height value would be the means of implementing turret mounts slightly sunken into the deck for firing arc conservation.
