You're not "working" with me on this one. I'm done with this as of now. I have quite enough to do with the MBT upgrade. The errors that were initially found have been fixed and MBT has been checked to ensure none existed there either. I have corrected any land based unit and ON MAP naval vessel that used a "Naval" weapon with 60 accuracy and there were less than a handful that qualified . Things like the Japanese "150mm Gun Empl" still use a "Naval gun" but that one is, and always has been, set up with the correct accuracy for a land based gun.

The reason I wanted you to check all indirect fire class 10 Naval guns with accuracy of 60 have firecontrol and Rangefinder values of 0 is had you done that first before running to the forum with this complaint you would know that NONE of the indirect fire class 10 Naval guns with accuracy of 60 HAVE firecontrol and Rangefinder values other than zero. For naval guns firing off map this IS their firecontrol and Rangefinder. It's a "game thing" to simulate FC and RF in naval vessels and it's applied equally to all. Check away for your own info. I already know the answer. You wasted a lot of effort trying to convince me to make changes to the OOB's based on two of the units that were in error.

"Coastal guns" are the ones named "Coastal guns" or used in forts specifically named that way like the Italian "Art Costiera" or the Greek "Coastal Defence" or the German "Coastal Fort". ALL have RF and FC and none ( now ) use a "naval gun" with 60 accuracy . The 60 accuracy is reserved exclusively for off map weapons simulating naval gunfire

The coastal guns as a rule have the AP removed because with it they are too deadly on LC with it. It's a "playability vs Realism" issue. naval vessels, and LC fall into that category, are treated like vehicles but whereas a vehicle may be destroyed with one shot naval vessels rarely are and giving something like the Brit 9.2 or the German 17cm AP makes them too deadly on LC do the decision was made long ago not to give them AP and none do. You can plink away at LC with the AT guns used in bunkers. They have AP but we have to give them AP because they are primarily "land based" as is the game in general.
