I think it would be neat to have the option of using a forward super-superfiring turret as seen in the Dido class and Atlanta Class light AA cruisers

They do look very nice, but sadly they created a massive headache stability-wise and - at least for the Dido-class - 'Q' turret ('C' turret in-game) was removed and replaced by a 40mm Bofors mount.

It could just give enormous top weight points so even one of those would make ship unstable even without radar or AA guns, but if player wishes so...
