Is the reason the coastal guns have their AP removed because the indirect fire naval artillery has none? because if so it certainly gives the enemies on-board flotilla and landing craft an easy ride in The unrealistic combination of the coastal guns low accurracy and no AP means even if you hit anything you cant sink it.
As a rough guide assuming the insect gunboat has a rangefinder and that its accurracy of 30 isnt another typo then 30 could be considered it as a guide to what the coastal guns accuracy should be. As a shore based gun isnt moving, pitching, yawing or rolling the shore guns accuracy should be something better.

Do tell Chuck ------exactly how many of the "naval gun" units in the game which have weapons with 60 accuracy have rangefinder and firecontrol ratings above zero ? That is all units in the game like the Italian "Art Navale" or the US or Japanese "XXin Naval Gun" or the German "XXXmm Naval gun"
Hmmm ??
Do a nice long exhaustive check and get back to me on that. Take all the time you need.
Just as a reminder the question is ---- how many of those units with a weapon class 10 weapon ( Naval Artillery ) given 60 accuracy have rangefinder and firecontrol ratings above zero ?
Once you're done that for me go and check the rangefinder and firecontrol ratings of the costal forts and tell me what you find. Take your time with that. I don't want to hear from you again until you have an answer that isn't based on faulty theory or assumption
And yes, the 30 accuracy given to the 6 inch "naval gun" used by the insect class GB is an error. It should have the same accuracy as the 5 inch naval gun in weapon slot 188 ( 10 )
Congratulations, for all that you found two ( 2 ) really insignificant errors
Oh and when you're checking all those costal guns for RF and FC and you get to the Italian ( both Italy and RSI ) the "Art Costiera" you find with a 52 FC is wrong as well and has been corrected in the master
