Type 3, but slightly more than you depicted, the deck should be 16-20 pixels tall (including the walkway you show)

Not a bad design at all. I'd alter the bows a little, perhaps a tad less rake and a bit fore freeboard forward. The funnels could be raised a bit more too, and the tower behind the bridge could be another deck taller perhaps. Overall though this looks like a fairly neat fast BB.

I think what the initial criticism of the bridge contained was that the open Admiral's bridge is too low than, and there maybe you ought to add one more deck-level beneath to the tower. Otherwise you shouldn't either extent or even increase the height of the main bridge structure, since five deck-levels in my opinion is more than enough, even for a massive battleship like this one. Else I concur with the other voices: detail it, alter the bow to be more flared, maybe shave a few feet of the depth and shade it and then you'll have a magnificent looking vessel!

It's ok. Some shading would do a lot. Why does the aft aa turret difer from the others?
