Are all the Barbettes the same height?
I'm in a USA 1890 campaign currently 1917. I'm trying to mess around with Barbettes and standard superimposed is taller and bigger than very tall super imposed but also lighter. Am I missing something about adjusting the height?

same question..I think the Barbetts need an overhaul, currently they do not make too much sense I think.
They should e.g. name them for their diameter/or guns diameter that fits, and different height levels.

No, some barbettes are higher than others. Although they looks almost exactly the same. But later when you have 18" or 20" inch main gun you will see the difference.

some are the same and some are different. Generally wider ones are taller, but not always. I recommend placing the first one on an empty hull and comparing them by overlapping the silhouette of the others. It will give you an idea of scale. A height slider is definitely needed IMO. So many options with so little difference between them. Also the names lie.

Well, realistically speaking, you don't want to stack up your guns so high that a full salvo rolls your ship into a submarine (would be funny tho xD)(not that it would be "realistic"). At least you'd have stability and structural problems.

I think the words are somewhat falsely translated. I think the "standart" and "tall" refer to the gun calibers you can place on them, with "tall" meaning "bigger" so ...
for instance: a standart barbette means "guns up to 8-9"" while a tall barbette means "10-15""

My point is, from the left to the right the barbettes get "bigger" in size of the turrets they can support while their naming is ... somewhat ... you get what I'm saying? xD

Also, if you add a height slider, pls make it impact the stability and visibility of the ship, I don't really want to see some sort of skyscraper floating around other than for the lulz of it :)
