visable shore batteries
« on: March 29, 2017, 10:11:47 AM »
making shore batteries visable on the map for all countries to see for each country in my not wanted opinion is not a good idea. makes it easy for battleships to take them out before the sb's can even see the fleet.

now to me this seems gamey. please make the Shore batteries invisible again

The battle last night showed that with bases that have 3 SB's, one heck of a fight can develop. Yes, the SB's were put down, but the battle that raged in the area was PRIME TIME MAIN ARENA ACTION.

Eventually the rook CV was sunk, by knit torpedos!  But the SB's as they came online caused significant damage, enough so that range vox was LIT with cries to take down the shore battery.

If BB is taking out SB from THAT far away, wouldn't that make it easier to up bombers for CV that is a ways away? Perhaps an up/down icon would be more appropriate on the map. That way at a glance, one can see SB's destroyed, prompting defenders to the area?

I dunno, I like them at this point.

Good to know. Thought it was out a bit, but this makes sense. Didn't think the GPS system was in place yet in '44.

I like seeing them on the map.   Guys will know to up and defend if a CV attack is happening at a base without them. 

The SB's have killed many a carrier base attack and are just another way of players avoiding upping without risk to themselves. 

I would also like a roll over mouse option that says down or up like the strats.   :D

 :old:

i like the land mode snipe.  The art of shooting is not know enough.  hopefully more will shoot on target and more efficient use of the boat guns.

 :salute

p.s. say what? their spray is 200 yds wide or 400?  is this a accurate computer model of the real guns?  :headscratch:  if it is a 100 yard radius of error.  that is the distance i used to move off land mode to rake a area.
