Changed the license to CC BY-SA.
Redefined prices of all parts.
Added 5 new anti-aircraft weapons:
 - US Navy: Dual M2HB Mount, Oerlikon 20 mm Dual Mount
 - Royal Navy: Bofors 40 mm Dual Mount
 - Imperial Japanese Navy: 10 cm/65 Type 98 Naval Gun
 - Kriegsmarine: 2 cm FlaK 38 Quad Mount (Flakvierling)
Added 40 mm ammo and an ammo box, containing 400 rounds.

0.1.3 (IMPORTANT) - "More Dual":
Converted OGG audios to WAV for those don't have a decoder for it.
Added mount rings to some guns.
Got Mark 12 5"/38's texture redone, and now it fires airburst rounds.
Added 1 new weapon:
 - Imperial Japanese Navy: 12.7 cm/50 cal Type 3 Naval Gun Dual Mount Turret

0.1.2 (IMPORTANT) - "Improved RAM":
Resized all turrets to reasonable sizes, like BDArmory itself does, together with their masses.
Compressed all textures to 1024*1024 to save memory.
Got 38 cm SK /C 34's texture completely redone.
Added a plain text version of CC BY-NC-SA into the package.

0.1.1 (HOTFIX):
Replaced the painful looking DDS textures with TGA. Looking for a better solution to save memory. (DEPRECATED)

0.1.0:
Initial release. (DEPRECATED)

Please tell me or PM my teammates if you have any questions or suggestions about this pack. We're glad to help.

Downloaded this and holy kraken those turrets are big. The 5" turret is probably the only one that will fit on current sized Maritime Pack hulls, though if a bigger hull is ever released (which is planned I believe) I do have procedural parts installed so I can build a mount thing for the large turrets.

A good source on the net for information about naval weapons is http://www.navweaps.com

It's astonishing what they did with pre-electronic technology. A video here:

The reference to HMS Excellent, which is the Royal Navy's gunnery school, suggests this was a serious demo of the old methods.

And the is a USN training film showing the computer technology that was used.

This was the sort of computer that the old science fiction stories envisaged. By the end of WW2 the RN and USN were getting their range data with radar. By then the USN was transmitting the aiming data direct to the turret control, essentially using synchronised electrical motors called selsyns. And the USN battleships, using those electromechanical systems, were engaging targets in the 1991 Gulf War.

There were other sorts of non-electronic computer, mechanical and electrical, digital and analogue, and Babbage's Difference Engine would have worked if it had been built in Victorian times.

Oh boy, Lovelace and Babbage... http://sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/the-marvellous-analytical-engine-how-it-works/

OMG, just thought that it is time to build a bigger version of this:

Not sure what to make it out of. My PC can't hangle tons of structural panels well. Maybe it is time to dig up mo TweakScale configurating skills...

On a side note, memory footprint could've been smaller. 60 megs are too much for a few parts, even that big ones.

Well, SOMEONE complained about the textures, so they did a huge art pass on them so they are now amazing....and RAM-eating.

On a side note, any chance of the 2-gun turret version of the MK 12 5"/38?

Good luck with that, the 127mm (5") single gun turret has a mass of 18.6, and the next size up (the dual 203mm) is 248.

Challenge accepted. :P I just need to clean up some RAM.

I think I'll make an upscaled version of repulsors tho.

I myself am installing tweakscale purely so I can make something that'll work with them. Sideways Mk 3 Fuselages upscaled should do the job. It'll probably have to be a ship as even the Mole Tracks from Kerbal Foundries struggle to work with just 1 Bismarck turret (as in slow acceleration to like 1.0 m/s, and no turning ability whatsoever). I could try a Land-Battleship though.
