Well, the 16" guns are not quite what I had hoped for. They have great firepower and range, but they seem to lack accuracy. They're a bit unwieldy for use against low level ships, and with the slow reloads are often still reloading while another ship finishes off your target. Overall, I'm a bit disappointed, but it'll take trial and error with each user to come to a decision on what gun to use.

Luckily, I can also upgrade to the very satisfying improved 15" twin. It has 307 range, and improved damage, while being lighter and more accurate than the triple 16" gun. And down the line are some more improvements on the twin 15", so I may hold out for those.
