I know one of the issues is that caliber and Ship size don't scale as they ought: A major battery at SM+15 is mounted on a 700 meter ship and fires a 56 cm shell, but a major battery on a SM+5 ship is mounted on a 15 meter ship and fires a 10 cm shell. Watch for that effecting your numbers.

I went and worked out what the guns should be here.
