@domapino: keep in mind that the BHG battleship has 14 turrets that can all fire forward. - and thats a characteristic of all BHG capships - their ability to charge enemies with every single turret blazing.
about the shape ... you really consider that ..spindly?
about the retro look - a lot of that can be fixed by using the typical BHG skin. everything in liberty skin get a somewhat hightech look. - the retro look comes from the outer tanks.. something you d not really expect on a new ship.
if they hurt the models appearence too much, i can remove them and replace them with maybe lifeboat systems or mooring fixtures ( whatever a battleship needs on its sides )
