Opinions on this derp gun/turret plz. ALSO, PLEASE DON'T COPY MY IDEA, K MARC AND OTHER PEOPLE?

Naval Gunnery Range, Mandalore District

Final tests on a massive new gun are about to commence. The gun, labelled the 100cm/75 ADVNG Mk I is a gargantuan 1000mm weapon, 75 calibers in length (75m long barrel), capable of firing immense projectiles (IDK how big the shells would actually be) over 200km accurately.

There are several different shells under testing, including a standard capped armor piercing (APC) round, capable of punching through the toughest of enemy armor, and lighter weight, but more damaging high explosive rounds (HE), which have significantly less penetration, but cause unholy amounts of damage with their large explosive yield. Some more extreme types are being tested, including a super heavy tungsten armor piercing (SHTAP), which has exponentially more mass than standard AP, and nuclear (NUKE) shells which can carry a relatively small 1mt yield.

The turrets the guns will be mounted in will come in dual, triple, and quadruple mounts, and will be heavily armored. The front of the turrets will be armored with 1000mm of hardened titanium alloy, slanted back at a 45° angle, allowing complete immunity from essentially all shells, save 2040mm. The sides and rear will have a thinner 750mm titanium skin, which is still enough to protect from 53cm shells, and even the gargantuan Gallian 560mm Mk I. The turret roofs will be 500mm thick, starting out at a 12.5° slope, before levelling out, and continuing down at a 45° slope. This will still provide enough protection against 53cm guns, and even the 56cm gun at long ranges. Furthermore, the guns will be able to elevate 90°, allowing them to target flying ships.

With everyone in position, the firing range clear, and the guns loaded, it is time to begin. The massive quadruple turret rotates into position, and elevates its guns to 45°. Then, the order is given to fire.

The massive guns fire, sending a torrent of smoke and fire in their wake. The shells screech through the air at over 1000mps, and fly through the air for over a minute, before spotters over 200km away spot the shells, which are just lead training shells, impact the fertile Arcadian soil, sending massive plumes of dirt hundreds of meters into the air, and creating massive craters. The guns quickly reload in less than 30 seconds, sending another salvo off before the first even hits, meaning eight massive shells are in the air at once. The firing continues for the next minutes, firing at several different angles to test range and accuracy. The guns are found to be very accurate, and studies indicate that they could achieve 10% accuracy rates against a ship the size of an Enterprize class at 200,000m, meaning a 16 gun broadside would score 1-2 crippling hits.

With the tests deemed a success, NARHIGHCOM quickly authorizes the construction of four quadruple turrets for the new Arcadia class battleship...
