    I think it would have to be R&Ded due to the fact that we have no real idea how it will react. Start with one... then work with another if needed. THIS is all good and well... CHucky.... how is Malaya coming?

    Malaya is in dry dock, not much progress. Been working on Pondua and Mog first. They are the closest to being ready.

    I was thinking about the island cannon, I would think that it should be angled for a water line or above hit as I can't think of one shore battery ever scoring a below water line hit.

    Let's try both ways! The first should be the orginal way then, if we switch it up, we can see which was easier to handle, and more effective. Just my thoughts.

    A below line hit would be easy from 2 feet away. That how close the ships can get.

    Well.... like I said.... set it up your way first Chuck.... then we'll R&D it the other way.... sounds like a no-brainer to me.

    Just start off with a small platform with a Single cannon mounted on it.
    Set it up for R&D and gather the data when used on the pond. Shouldn't be hard. HMMM maybe I have to build one.I got the material here.
