Since there is still some margin regarding weight, I would change the caliber of the secondary armament from 2" to 3" or even 4"

I agree with you on the need to increase the AA fire rate, however in RTW2 the primary, secondary and possibly tertiary armament determines the HAA factor (at altitude), while for AA close defense there are light (12, 7 mm?) and medium (37-40 mm?) anti aircraft guns (with a preference for the latter in the late stages of the game). Furthermore, in your CL Phaeton (perhaps due to a bug in the game) for a 2" caliber secondary armament the double purpose of the guns is not envisaged, while it is possible with a 3" or 4" caliber, as in my CL "Radamanto", with a higher HAA factor. I understand, however, that this thread is not about the RTW game but about naval technique in general.

I agree but as you say, the game does have limitations. I might change the secondaries in light of your idea. Thanks for providing your thoughts.
