Single manned AA gun on top of shore bat?
« on: March 05, 2011, 01:58:32 PM »
I was thinking, and before you take cover hear me out. Would it be alright to have a single dual 40mm manned AA gun on top of the shore battery? Or perhaps even a single 20 mm like we have on the CV? Just some sort of ground to air resistance... Now it’s my first post on wishes for about 3 years so im open for criticism.  :ahand

      Pretty reasonable wish to my mind.  Shore batteries often had AAA defenses close by.

Sounds like a nice idea to me.  Also, some better damage modelling on the SB would be nice...I've always thought it vaguely ridiculous that you can destroy a big ugly lump of reinforced concrete by firing a lot of rifle calibre bullets at it :P

yea true, but it seems like a reasonably good balance the way it is, because they can cause alot of damage quickly to a task group if it has a shot. And on some maps, they can cover a maproom or a GV spawn, and cause much trouble (as is my method).

Gotta love picking off tanks at their spawn in one. :devil

But I agree, the SB could use SOME kind of AA defense added to it.  I'd be fine with a manned 40mm single and/or 2 quad 20mm auto's.

      Got me, I said nearby...do your own research.  I have seen coastal AAA defenses by the Germans in Norway and
France.

I had a shore battery shoot my 262 down as I flew past once.
