Auto Credit Based on BMilan's Pre-Dreadnought Challenge [CLOSED]

Repmayin was laid down in 1899,But she served in the SP navy during SPWW1 to SPWW2

She fought a lot of battles and nicknamed
Ol'Re

In SPWW1 she was used to defend cities and ports
but in SPWW2 she earned a place in the SP navy

one of the many battles she participated is the battle of Yeager Port

She sunk 6 ships on this battle
she participated in another battle called the defense of Wright Airport

she was the capital ship of Admiral Rayzuje
later in the war she was relocated to the Killer Fleet

In 1938 she was Reffited with 6 16inch guns
and the reason why she could support the massive guns is because of the hull
the hull was specially engineered to hold more weight than most pre dreadnoughts

Armament
6 16inch guns
many 9 inch guns as secondary

The 16 inch gun is from @Blyatnov= Hms Nelson
Happy Sailing!

    Official evaluation

    - First Impression (1/5):

    The ship doesn't really resemble a pre-dreadnought at all. The superstructure and funnels look way too modern even for a 1938 refit and the shape of the hull with the completely flat aft end looks more like a 21st century vessel than one from the late-1800s/early-1900s
    The forward and amidships turrets just didn't traverse at all.
    There was also no controls included anywhere, not in the craft instructions or in the description.


    - Design/Accuracy (2/15):

    As said before, the superstructure looks way too modern even for a refit. The hull looks nothing like a pre-dreadnought hull.
    The description mentions the cannons being 16 inch which was possible because the ship was for some reason built much larger. I couldn't find anything even close to this in real life where a pre-dreadnought would be refitted with 16 inch guns and 6 of them no less, making it way too far fetched even for a fictional ship.
    The only accurate part about this build is the fact that it has 3 centerline twin main turrets, something which there is real life examples of (the Brandenburg-class for example). The bridge tower mast also seems to somewhat resemble a ww2 stlye mast like that of the US fast battleships, but it's really on the edge.
    The ship's top speed seem to also be accurate to that of a pre-dreadnought


    - Details (2/15):

    The ship has barely any details to speak of, it's completely minimalistic. The only thing I could think of being some form of extra detail is the circular shapes randomly placed around the deck, but I couldn't figure out their purpose (hatches maybe?)
    There are also some radio antennas on the mast tho they are looking way more futuristic even for a ww2-refit.


    - Features (3/20):

    The ship has main and secondary guns, although only the aftmost main turret can be rotated, all other weapons are fixed in place.
    Propulsion is solved with jet engines and steering with a gyro, not very great.


    - Build Quality (2/10):

    The forward and aft turrets can't be moved because they have a accidental attachments to the hull. This leads me to believe that the builder didn't even bother to do a final round of testing before uploading
    There are no part saving solutions anywhere and the hull is not very well built, especially the blacked aft end, caused by making fuselages too short.
    The builder also used someone else's turrets on the ship, but at least they gave credit in the description.


    - Performance (5/20):

    The top speed of the ship is realistic and good, steering speed is okay as well.
    The guns are pretty much useless because they can't be traversed.
    It was an unexpected but welcome surprise that the ship settles nicely on the ocean mod and then sails very smoothly on it, no bouncing around.


    - Description and Information (5/15):

    The description only includes a short history section and a list of the weaponry, nothing else. Including the controls and some screenshots would have made it better, as well as adding some formatting to the otherwise short and dry text.
