BTW, What's the gun number pro turret in the Scharnhorst? Not exactly symmetrical I'm afraid...


As far as the big guns, its pretty symetrical. I cannot think of any side that isnt symetrical...

6 on the front and 3 on the back.
3 - 3 - 3
HMS Belfast: 3-3-3-3
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

THats exactly why. Because you would do that. It WOULD be fun, but the spotter would have to be airborne to be fair.

When I was in Iraq and we were getting hit by incoming fire the spotter for the enemy wanst  flying around. We didnt know were the heck he was?

So we would have to just call in AS and look for him. I kinda understand what your saying so If not just chute down put the spotter in a GV.

Or you could have the option of flying a C-47 over the base and droping the paratrooper out that way the base knows atleast what direction he is in? and that he is there.

AFAIK left and right on both KGV class, Belfast and generally every proper warship are symmetrical. PUNKTUM.

And for the spotter the Jeep is perfect ;)

You can shell bases with the 8inch guns on the Cruisers (the biggest guns we have in the game) and The targeting mode makes them very effective for shore bombardment.

Come on the bigger the gun the better put the same targeting sys, on the 14" or 15" guns YEA!!! but the main reason is that you could fire father out from the target and it would take more time for the torpedo bombers and attack planes to get to you. a little more of a chance for the CV's:aok :O

Then the Answer to your original question would be: Because we don't have 14 or 15 inch guns.

I know we have thouse little bitty 8"'ers they are desent but what fleet travled around without a Battle Ship?? that would be suicide for the CV if they came in contact with a enmy CV FLEET that was ready for anything.
Bring on the Battle Ship!!!!!
