A solution for balance....possibly.

(Knowing Jamez, I was almost afraid that this will end with '16 to 20 for battleships, and 24 to 30 for gunboats')

Yes Igiss very funny. :P

Well if the turret numbers are fine change something else like weapon damage and hull strength.

Battleships are not scary enough.

If in doubt, just look to modern day tech.

A naval battleship is DEADLY.
It can withstand A LOT of punishment and has MONSTROUS long-range weapons with massive damage.
It also has extensive anti-fighter defenses including chain-gin turrets and missiles.

That's what a BS should be like.
