I think the R gun space should be increased on the New York BB to let it hold triple
12's and dual 14's because the New York was planned to have 15 twelve inch guns
but the were replaced by the dual 14's since the 12 inchers were way behind
schedule. Come on...the New York kinda sux right now...at least make it SLIGHTLY
better please.

Thank you.

try a dreadnough or a mikasa. Then check the NY compared.

I think you'll stop complaining about it.

Amusingly, wikiality suggests the reverse -- the preceding Wyoming class was to use 14"
guns, but they weren't ready, so 12" ones were used instead. And since the first US
battleship with triple guns was the Nevada a few years later...

Cite your source please.

The New York class was never intended to hold 12" triples. And in the event that it ever
did, it would be using those crappy 12" guns with the 15 degree angle that have less
range than a DD.

And in any case, the New York is a fine ship as it is. It's a BB1.5, don't expect anything
more from it than that.
