Actually, the SPW is an armored personnel carrier, as in the SdKfz 251 mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen and SdKfz 250 leichter Schützenpanzerwagen series of vehicles.

The ships we have are not Battleships. They are Heavy Cruisers (CA) fireing 8 Inch Guns (about 155 mm) with HE shells.
well what heavy crusers are they tring to rep?,,because there using the wrong model for it,,lol,,2 heavy turrets up front,,and 1 in the back,,,most ca's had 4 turrets,,with 8 inchers in them,2 guns in each turret,or maybe 2 turrets with 11inchers in them<~~counts the country your from,,,on this game,,they look like the south dakota class allmost,lol<~~maybe the rare alaskan class cruser?,,but even it had 12inch cannons,,and it was too late to see any action anyways

and i know it would be plenty to take down a hanger,,like i said,,a handgrenade could take down the hangers close to were i live,,and there real ww2 military hangers,,they wernt made to take hits,,,,i think aces high made them so tuff,,because the bases are so small,,too make up for the lack of huge bases and the need for hunderds of people just too take out one base,,lol<~~like a scaled down war

The Cruiser we have is a replica of a US NAVY  BALTIMORE CLASS CA (Heavy Cruiser).

She has 3 tripple 8" turrets - 2 forward and 1 aft as her main armament.  6 twin DP 5" turrets make up her secondary battery.

Hyena, you are mistaken. Most of the Heavy Cruisers of the USN did only have 3 main gun turrets in a two forward, one aft set-up. The only exception was the old PENSACOLA class which had 4 turrets. (Two tripple & two twin 8 inch turrets).  Most of the USN Light Cruisers (CL) (6 inch guns) did have 4 turrets. The BROOKLYN CLASS had 5 tripple 6 inch turrets!

Here is a shot of our Cruiser - the USS BALTIMORE CA-68
