Hi everyone, I have a question for everyone.
On the dev Gloire’s turret 3 clearly shows that it can overcome the small crew access raising its guns, making it able to rotate a full 360° ( now it has to swing all around every time you change side ):
Does anyone have any document proving that this was possible? Or the turret had some mechanical limitations that prevented this to happen?
Thanks in advance for your effort trying to find out the solution for this doubt.
Sorry for being a bit annoyng but this can also be related to the firing angles of the gun, as it shows both the avayable angles of the gun and the upper catapult.
This doesn’t prove that the gun could not rotate over over the crew access near it.
Is there any text or additional info that explains how the gun operated?
For example, the american 5 inc on the gearing class only shows an operating angle of 300°, but the gun itself had no problem elevating to avoid the superstructure.
