Deutschland class predreadnought class Hull

[Panzerfront]

I am running a 1890 campaign as Germany and noticed that the German Battleship hulls do not accurately represent their ship building styles once they grew past the Brandenburg type Pre Dreadnoughts. The later Battleship 3 hull for Germany is rather lacking. Compare it to the Deutschland or Braunschweig class Pre Dreadnoughts. Is there any chance for a revision of that hull, or the addition of a Battleship 4 hull to represent these classes.

It's not just the deutschland class.
There are no hulls that accurately represent Kaiser, Konig, Bayern class battleships too.
You can somewhat make them close to there historical counterparts using the current hulls but still they look way different.

And It's not just the hulls too.
German BB/BC towers are all very narrow (Nassau, Hegloland, Kaiser, Konig, Bayern, Moltke etc...)
But the in-game towers are all rather FAT Making it harder to design.

And the German 15inch marck2 turret's modeling should be changed to the Bayern's rectangular ones rather then the round looking sized up helgoland turret of now.


But hey, srsly this game is still beta basically. And I understand devs have more impending things to fix then these.
But I do hope in the future, we will have more accurate hull/tower/turret designs for each faction.

The 24cm German pre-dn can be build quite close i think, the 28cm are not possible, the biggest gun i could fit on them was 27cm.
The 1890 brandenburg has Problems with weight since the last balance changes.
But i have not tried it in detail.

This early in the game existence I can understand it. At the very least Germany has something less generic than British pre-dread hulls so many other nations gets. Brandenburg and Wittelsbach is still more than reused Canopus & Sovereign hulls.

I'd love it if when the US Navy is added to the Campaign that Predreadnought hulls are added which can support a Connecticut style Battleship, along with 12/13 inch turrets which can fit 8 inch guns above them. I'd also love to see Austrohungarian hulls added to support their numerous predreadnought class Battleships. I'm seeing the German issue right now as that is the campaign I'm running through rn.

German pre-dreads are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, any mk2 gun larger than 10 inches won't fit on the battleship 3 hull and all are impossible to balace

I managed to place 11 inch mark 2s on all of my Predread hulls, even the B-3 hull.

I can only imagine those will get added at some point. Would love to build some of those early US monsters of a Pre Dreadnought

I'm similarly, waiting for something resembles Tiger, or Iron Duke. I'm in no rush, but funny that the first video on steam basically shows Iron Duke yet that hull is not accessible.
