So many complaints on these boards about "upgrading" to a new BB or cruiser only to find it has hideously large spread, and you can actually deal far more DPM with your tier 5 BB because it has a much tighter spread.

This could be fixed with a very simple change, for all ships - work out what a "good spread" is, which I'd say is roughly the spread of most tier 5 BBs, and make the turrets angle so that regardless of range, they deliver the same spread. Its not complicated, the turrets just need to face in rather than facing parallel. The closer the range, the steeper the relative angle. All ships should then have tight spreads.
