R/C Naval Combat

I have a few pics and I think Dave does too. I will get them from him and post them.

Scharnhorst had a complete internal refit over the last 2 weeks. The hull was stripped completely inside and out, the stringers were repaired and reinforced, broken ones fixed, she was resheeted, redecked, 3 new drive tubes installed, three functional shafts although I have only powered two at this point, and the guns were redone. I now have a dual side mount on the STBD side, a 1 1/2 unit side mount to PORT and a single stern mount angled slightly to PORT. I am very pleased with the overall performance. I am able to keep up with Nagato both forward and reverse, starting and stopping, but she still out turns me as she always will. I have the refit pics and will post them soon.

Correct Chris. Scharnhorst can't have a dual sidemount under IRCWCC, Treaty (or MWC) rules. She is allowed 3 side mounts under Treaty rules but they all have to be in different turrets, meaning all 3 of Schranhorst's turrets would be side firing.

Not a bad idea for a Treaty Scharnhorst because there could be a 1.5 unit cannon in each turret and a 1 unit pump. Not so good under IRCWCC or MWC rules because they allow only a single 1.5 unit cannon for some reason. That never made sense to me and NABS at one time gave HMS Courageous an exemption so each of her 2 turrets could have a 1.5 unit gun.

Sticking with IRCWCC rules Scharnhorst's maximum firepower would be a 1.5 unit sidemount, a 1 unit sidemount and dual bow or stern guns.
