Yes Ships

Naval warships to be exact. Any big ship really. You don't plink at LC's with 12 inch guns. The ships that carry the LC you would but that is beyond the scope of the game

Do you see any large naval vessels/ warships in the game ??

Answer.. no. Not the kind ships the 12 inch gun in the Difesa Costiera fort was meant to deal with. Patrol boats and the like don't count. What those guns are meant to deal with are what we class as off map targets but these are on map assets and on map assets cannot shoot at off map targets. To use the guns the way you envision they are designed to be used with all the naval RF and FC should mean these are made off map artillery to engage the naval "guns" the player doing the beach landing bought. But the game doesn't work like that. Off map guns do not use RF and FC and on map LR artillery cannot engage off map guns and there is no mechanism in the game to get into CB fire with naval guns and we have no intention of adding any.

So really those units should be pulled but I'd get more people complaining if I did. There are things in this game we have added over time because others thought it a wonderful idea to do so. Costal/River naval craft and large calibre coastal batteries are two of them I personally could have lived without. Just keep in mind those big guns wouldn't be used to fire at LC over open sights so use the smaller guns that have the AP to defend the beach against the LC and leave those big forts for decorations in sceanrios
