5'' guns preventing you from a capture?

[Belial]

Ok I was attacking a port yesterday and we went through the trouble of killing the cv in port, dropping the VH and deacking.  So i'm thinking sweet there task group is to far out to sea to ressuply the base.  Finally my buddies get their lvt's feet dry and let about 40 troops go, all looks well.  A couple seconds later and BAM 5'' guns shelling the maproom, THEY KILLED EVERY TROOP!  Just wondering if this seems very crappy to you guys to, I was very frustrated.

What's a "capture?"

Did you make sure all the ack was down even the man'd ack? Did you shoot up the map room to make sure there wasn't a chute hiding in it? If I heard 5" shells hitting the maproom I would think that they would kill the troops just like any other gun.

There are several maprooms on various maps within the range of the shore battery, makes it a bit more challenging but effective at defense and frustrating for capture.

Somoene must have went into land mode and clicked on the maproom from the cv, the port was p86 on the current orange map.

this sounds more likely

did this a couple of weeks ago on one of those maps where ports have towns and a field, took them 4 goons to work out what was going on

I love killing base sneakers with shore battery.

They just keep upping until they finally get tired of it.

Good thinking on their part.

Its no different than when the cv and cruiser are dead however the LVT's keep upping feet dry dumping supps to keep the ack up. Its gamey and lame but that doesnt stop it from happening. HTC needs to address this but they wont, never have never will.

That will be when you landed a goon with troops

Field Captures    1    670

Seems like a proper use of arty.  The SB ROF is a bit too slow to kill all troops when they're all strung out.

Dry spawning LVTs and shelling a maproom are two entirely different things. Dry spawning a LVT is exploiting a bug in the game. Shelling a maproom is a good tactic for defending your base.

I wonder if the allies that were storming the beaches of Normandy were yelling "gamy" or "lame" because the germans were shelling them with mortars and artillery?
