    @Ephwurd I made the barrels have square openings that are taller than they are wide to make it look like they contain the two electromagnetic armatures inside them. Coilguns could be wrapped around standard barrels but we only use them in a few amounts due to how they're very fragile. Railguns can withstand damage better than a coilgun most times.

    @RocCrafter101 a basic railgun, even by today's standards, would have two electromagnetic rails instead of a barrel. What you have here is most likely a coilgun, since a coil could be wrapped around a standard-looking barrel. Technically different, but functionally the same.

    @Ephwurd Well, contrary to the futuristic railgun people are used too. Modern railguns are not so much flashy with pulsing neon all over the place. The neon colors make it easy to spot. The futuristic shapes with strange indentations and carvings aren't very stealthy either. Modern railguns would likely use current turret shapes.
    @CursedFlames I tried to make a modern version of the Graf Spee lol. It does look like a destroyer. This is because you don't usually see larger ships with these stealthy shapes which means the stealthy superstructure shapes are associated with Destroyers most times. But if larger capital warships were to return, they would carry similar shapes as modern Destroyers

    Looks a bit more like a destroyer to me, but I am no ship expert. Great build!
