Well that's the thing, the Helgoland class was armed with 30.5cm guns, when I built my first one I had double 40s put on it to give it some chance in mp.

After I lost it in the .sqlite transfer, I built it with Hansa parts (you can see it on the Neo Earth fleet page). But I gave it 38s, though on German ships they weren't introduced until the Bayern class super Dreadnoughts (coming soon ;)). When I was rebuilding the non hacked one, I was conflicted as to which to use. I decided on the 36s because they're closer to Helgolands original armament.

Also, the 38s and 40s use an angular turret style, which wasn't introduced until the late 1910s...by America. The WWI battleships of Europe used bulbous styles. So if you're going for historical accuracy, use the 36s. But for keeping up in mp, use the 40s.
