Can't rebuild quad turrets to use smaller guns

[CrabMonarchy]

As the title says. Currently, it is impossible to rebuild a quad turret to use smaller guns than the original ones installed. When I select a quad turret and press the Rebuild button, it says "No options for this turret" (see fig. 1), and if I downsize the guns then the overall design report says "Illegal calibre/gun number change in turret. No rebuild options for this turret except same number of smaller guns" (see fig. 2). Going by the latter tooltip, it seems that this is intended to be an option and isn't working properly for some reason.

It is correct, some turrets are impossible to replace.

In history it was really exceptional when turrets were replaced or planned to be replaced with another.

Some examples are Scharnhorst class, North Carolina class, Mogami class.

However no quadruple turrets were planned to be replaced with smaller caliber. Replacement of larger turrets for another ones is really difficult and for larger caliber guns practically impossible without planning ahead.

RTW has more relax rules compared to history examples however RTW never allow replacement turrets which would require change of barbette.

I was going to say, I think quads are an exception. if you're building quad turrets, you're doing it for a reason and no one is replacing those.

In that case, perhaps the tooltip in the Design Report should be corrected to indicate that quads cannot be rebuilt at all.

Thanks, will put that on the list.
