    I have still been looking for a ship, but with this ships cannons how are they placed in the turrets?

    The original ship had a double turret superimposed over a triple turret in both the bow and the stern. I don't know how cannons would be placed in a combat model.

    A straight magazine sticks straight out from the gun, and it's used for guns that don't rotate, like sterns, or stationary sidemounts. A coiled mag is useful if you need a) space for the gun to rotate, or b) just don't have room for a straight mag somewhere.

    The 50 and 75 part is how many BB's they hold. 50 is for a one unit cannon, 75 is for a 1.5 unit cannon.

    It would be hard to fit them in the stern, the straight mags go better back there. The straight mags are also cheaper.

    How would I place the guns? Triple sterns. No doubt in my mind. Triple sterns will violate and shred :)
