  1. Drach, did you ever visited the Gneisenau-turret in Norway? Looks much more roomy than this 16 inch gun turret.

  2.  @gregorywright4918  Ok, thank you for explanation. I always ask myselfes, why the german turret-shapes are so miserable? The side-armor-plates set in 90 degrees, anyway 15 inch double or 11 inch tripple turrets. In WWI side armour was the same shape, but the front armour was rounded. In WWII the turret-front-armour is flat on Bismarck- oder Scharnhorst-class. British double-gun-turrets had the best shape, i think. The Nelson-class 4-gun-turrets had the same problem as the German turrets concerning front-armour. Here 2 vids of the Geneisenau turret museum, coastal battery in Norway. https://youtu.be/suXkZsr9yFM or https://youtu.be/rB0K5DgjNrE The Germans used very short projectiles. Bismarcks 15 inch projectiles were 10% shorter than those of Hood.
