Range and detection
Every bar uses the same 20 km scale. Surface detection is a visibility threshold, not a weapon range.

After the approval of the Bretagne-class battleship project, research to further improve future ships continued. The designers took the extensive route by assembling 340 mm guns in three quadruple-gun turrets. The armor layout was slightly changed, too. However, the construction of ships was suspended at the height of World War I, and after the end of the war, the project was completely abandoned.
