[Star Wars]Is the design of Star Destroyers reasonable?

I mean, I know what they were going for: Maximum amount of surface for mounting weapons while offering as little area to oncoming attackers as possible. But does this design make any sense?

Because of their wedge shape all side mounted weapons can also fire forwards. This means that it can fire as many weapons forward as it does in a broadside. Most capital ship can't because the front is much smaller than the sides. SDs can charge into battle with all guns blazing. A different type of capital ship would have to get into a broadside position before bringing more guns to bear.
