This type of turret was designed on the order of the emperor Wilhelm II himself. The turrets were equipped with a 10,5 cm with a length of 35 calibres and a range of 10.800 m. Teh advantage of these turrets were their prices. They weighted 19.050 kg against maximum 95.000 kg for a standard German 10 cm turret. The disadvantage was that the turret was more vulnerable. The ammunition had to be supplied through a door in the rear, exposing the gunners. The turret could be easily blocked by a hit on the concrete ring. For more information www.mutzig.net.
