Shore Battery Field Of Fire

[trigger2]

From a programming point of view, I would hazard a guess that changing the "shore battery" item to have a 360 degree view might be easier than adding a bunch of the existing shore batteries - in the right places and with the right facing - to all of our maps.  But then, perhaps The Programmer might weigh in on this...?  

Depends on how it's programmed, in some cases it'd be easier to make it 360 (although then this would allow you to shell the base as well which can add some negative effects, especially to GVing), but other ways would make it easier to add some in (copy & paste with changing only a few variables) could be easier.

But back to the OP, I say add more SBs that give overlapping FoF rather than just making it a fancy circle turret...

thing is though is that many islands in the pacific didnt have this style of fortress defense with SBs gone wild. but yes they did have more than one or two... maybe even set up smaller SBs and artie for landing troops to be harassed too? and bring back the tank traps in specific places etcetera

carrier vessels do not belong on the beach.
move the "waypoint touches land" further out.

Park the CV 30+mi away. Pork Ords and dar on first sortie. Next sorties drop on SBs. Then bring CV in closer.

Agree. and in that order
One would think that this would be a no brainer but it often isnt.
Considering 3/4 of the time people dont bother to even think about porking ords when using a Cv to attack a base.Let alone ord AND SBs.
Thats a pretty tall order.

cv still a 10 minute ride from other bases.  pork all the ords around and we can still bring a buff in 20 minutes.  so you have perhaps 10 to 20 minutes to take a base before somebody drops the cv.  unless we just furballing in which case it will take longer.  but i think the thread was about having converging fields of fire for sb  which I think would be cool
