Default Re: Barges - unsinkable islands.

I have been toying around with boats recently and noticed that they show about the right amount of endurance to multiple hits, even being able to get back to operations after a few turns reducing suppression after taking serious damage.
The only thing that put me off a bit (but as Don said, there is always something) is the ability of even small warhead sizes to sink a boat completely. Rendering it completely useless I don't mind, but completely disappearing from the surface with just one more burst of 20mm or a LAW?
Granted, there may not be any other way to model a boat being completely out of action (floating hulks would be fun, but more trouble than worth).

Just a side question, Don, does the endurance of boat classes have any relation with other values, say, unit size?
