Sometimes the gun was used to shell shore-based targets like in the Caribbean where they fired at various installations like oil storage's and alike or in the Northern Sea where they damaged some radio stations. An excellent hit was landed by U-242 on 10 Oct, 1944 when it shot down a Russian aircraft with her 8,8cm deck gun!
19 Apr, 1942 In the Caribbean Sea U-130 under Korvkpt. Ernst Kals successfully bombarded the oil refinery and storage on Curacao with his 105mm deck gun.
18 Sept, 1943 In the Northern Sea U-711 under Kptlt. Hans-Günther Lange destroyed with the 8,8cm gun the Russian radio station "Pravdyi" near by the town Indiga, approx. 68.00N, 49.00E.
24 Sep, 1943 The same boat destroyed a few days later the Russian radio station "Blagopolncija" on the east of the island of Waigatsch, approx. 70.00N, 60.00E.

now i've read already that all land installations are treated as environment and cant be damaged. but how about this:
could it be done to "skin" a tanker or something to look like a building (an oil tank for example), then place the oil-refinery-class-"ship" somewhere on the land, create as a mission goal the "sinking" of it... i havent been into the skinning job much so far, but it seems as if some mods have been created that sounded more impossible before it was done.
that would be really cool, as we could have a bit more variation to mission goals
"destroy that refinery off the shore to alexandria. bdu"

We will need to find out how to stop the ship from accumulating damage. Currently, if a ship touches land it will gradually accumulate damage points until it explodes and sinks. One possible alternative might be to use an aircraft instead of a ship, give it the 3d model of a land structure, make a maximum speed of 0, and have it hover so close to the ground that you can't notice. Somebody already created a mod for parked aircraft several months ago, so I think it is possible.
On a related note, I wouldn't mind seeing targets like trucks, tanks, and trains; maybe they could be built using the same principle.
