Component

Consist of a fixed-height cap and a variable-height base (e.g. a barbette).

Types

• Primary battery.
• Secondary battery.
• Tertiary battery.
• Torpedo launcher.
• Mainmast.
• Mizzenmast.
• Crane.
• Aircraft.
• Radar.
• Primary battery director.
• Secondary battery director.
• Boat.

Properties

• Total length (float). The amount of horizontal space the component takes up if not superfiring.
• Base length (float). The amount of horizontal space the component takes up if superfiring. Also represents the horizontal space taken up in the hull.
• Superfiring clearance (float). How much higher this item has to be than the component in front when superfiring.
• Cap height (float). How high the cap extends above the top of the base.
• Allow top mount.
• Allow side mount.

Primary placement

Up to two sets of placements: one centerline, and perhaps one side.

The size of a placement depends on the size of the component placed there.

• Type. Determines what sort of component will be placed here.
• Priority (int). Lower numbers will be activated first. Ties are broken randomly.
• Facing (fore/aft).
• Superfiring (bool). Determines whether the component is looking over the component in front of it. This may increase its height (by extending the base) and/or cause it to take up less horizontal space.
• Superstructure level. Assumed to be continuous with the item in front or back. Gaps can be made using "spacer" placements.
• Allow side placements (bool). Side placements take superfiring into account.
• Minimum length.
• Flexible length. Any excess remaining length will be distributed among all active placements with a flexible length.
• Secondary placement(s).

Secondary placement

• Type.
• Location.
• Facing.
