Ok, the York class has redeemed herself somewhat in my eyes. She's fairly fun to use, and is kinda like a small Renown class. I've gone with the 12" guns, (mixed battery does not work, ranging issues means one caliber is always off target) and am fairly happy despite the shorter range. Turning is still terrible, and is the biggest flaw in the ship. (Good luck trying to dodge a torpedo!) Speed is fairly good given that I can wield a 12" gun, though I'd trade it for a better turning response. Armor is fairly good, with room for an 8" belt and 2-3" deck. My correct layout involves 6" fore and aft, with a 10" amidships section to give me better odds in a battleship slug out. But I may revert to a uniform 8" setup.
