Comment on Ezaki Iwakichi Battleship Design A by Tzoli
If I have not misunderstood, what you want to tell me is that you have "experimented" with a design of four triple towers 155 mm in the center of the ship, one forward and three aft, and then decide on that configuration of four towers Stern more like several designs of A-140. Do you mean that?
No, I meant that by putting a triple 155mm in a superfiring position forward I would had too small space for the AA guns to put on the centreline. And what I've said: All big guns forward is a strain on the hull and needs some counterbalance or it would be nose heavy hence I've put the 155mm guns aft which was my idea since the beginning just a superfiring turret forward looked nice.
