@arivael I don't think the historical KGV had the right barbette diameters for this but they could have designed it with the right diameter.

@Billy_Annizarry well besides the turrets being jammed Prinz Eugen was setting up a torpedo run when PoW decided to nope out of that situation.

@arivael I was referring to the twin, obviously you should be able to make a triple 15 on the quad 14 barbette in fact you should be able to get a triple 16, but I don't know if A) the twin 14 is wide enough to convert to a twin 15 and B) even if it's big enough to be feasible I don't think it happens to be the same diameter to literally just drop an R turret in it's barbette

@arivael well they could probably just make a new turret that fits the barbette and 15 " guns even if it doesn't get the cost and build time benefits of just using R turrets.
