4 inch Casemate cannon piece similar design as the 4inch cannon but is one block longer and requires stone stairs than a slab.
Can only be sued on cruisers and Dreadnaughts
2-4 max on cruisers and 6-8 max on dreadnaughts
non rotatable piece (meaning it cant be on turrets ), it has 120 degrees of firing and same elevation and depression as a normal 4 inch cannon
Reload is the same as a 4 inch cannon
Range is the same
casemates would require 3 blocks of space between barrels around to fire.

the reason why I want to suggests adding casemates to cc.net is for the simple fact that I feel ships such as cruisers and dreadnaughts are lacking in overall design and purpose. this would most likely give cruisers more of a use for they can be able to defend better against Destroyers, Corvettes, aircraft and provide fire support on Dreadnaughts while dreadnaughts can do the same in return. With the 6 block distance per casemate it overall makes it so having it focus fire in one direction isn't what its made it do but provide a safety circle around it against other ships in 1v2 or even 1v3 scenarios. The casemate isn't all to powerful though for it has the same capabilities as a 4 inch cannon but with increased horizontal angle of fire. with that it should be set so it is unable to be used on turrets only built into the hull of a ship directly. Granted a broadside of these can be quite powerful but again they only have 2 blocks of armor that can be in between your ammo and the enemy so its more of a high risk high reward making them vulnerable but more stronger in terms of offensive.
