I am unsure what the basis is supposed to be for writing that quad turrets were " very hard to maintain and preserve, due to the increasing of armor and size to house four cannons and the powerful recoil force if firing all cannons at once." The French quads performed well in service. It seems like a mistaken generalization of the KGV class's (somewhat exaggerated) problems with their quads, but that was a problem with that specific turret design not quads in general.
