The (my) origial plan was to have the lv 100 guns have between L2 and H44 range, at 39kn, a little less damage than the L2, and 45 degrees. A much higher displacement, and thus less durable, would offset these advantages.
The same plan made the lv 110 guns have between L2 and Monty Damage (closer to monty due to quads), 37kn, and SY range.
Unfortunately that didn't happen as planned.
