my thaught with the big gun ships would be to operate as they actually did "back in the day"
use say a 5" deck gun with a high refire rate to get their range then once you have them bracketed hit them with the big guns.
spend a day (or a few hours) on the pond mapping the elevations between the 5" and the 18" guns so that you can reliably fire both and get them to hit the same spot.
put a PIC in or something such that you just slew and elevate the 5" and it'll automagically aim the main guns for you to hit the same position. Then you just tell it what to fire.
heck if you really wanted "authenticity" make up a paper table that contains the elevation map. (ie 12 deg on the 5" = 8deg on the main guns) _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets
