5" Coastal defences
« on: November 17, 2008, 06:04:28 AM »
 I would like the option for terrain builders to have a 5" shore battery option to  the 8" shore battery as standard.

Currently A fleet stands off shore with an array of 5" manned and auto AA of various sizes  (protecting it) and attacks a base with 37mm AA of various types.

The base may or may not have a pair of 8" manned shore batteries. I think some balance may be adjusted  if a 5" shore battery (with AA/HE options) could be implemented should the terrain builder so wish. It would have the same emplacement etc except it would have a 5" gun and 5" "properties".

Heck, load up the coast with guns and keep the CVs a reasonable distance from shore.  As thing stand the CVs get close enough to pull shore power.

This happens to me numerous times, not when Im parked on the runway, but typicaly the moment my tail wheel leaves the ground, *boom* *boom* *twang*.

I would like to see assortment of guns from the shore. 5" & 8" in. and more 37"mm. Maybe down the rode (1-2years) add a pillbox with a machine gun as a last resort.
