Coastal batteries - how to make 'em fire?

Seeteufel · 08-16-05, 01:24 PM

The Royal Coastal Artillery is on vacation during the war - or so it seems in SH III....
Is there any Mod out there that makes a change ?
You know, for example the twin gun turret batteries at Dover ?

I have been attacked by coastal batteries on a few occasions, so I'm not sure why they don't fire at you..?

I've also seen a battle where I was not involved at all. I was hugging the French coastline when France was 'friendly'. Suddenly a squadron of British aircraft came from North and started bombing the batteries. The batteries fired back. One casualty on each side...

yea i've been fired at by the batteries in scapa, i think they have un-characteristically short-range, which is annoying.

Mind you they don't get much of a view.

Maybe this is only a Dover problem ? Can anyone confirm this ?

I wasn't surfaced at Scapa Flow...so I didn't witness the coastal guns in action there (didn't even notice them...it was dark and I was too frustrated to take a closer look), hours and hours of diving, "sneaking" through the rows of destroyers, only to find an empty harbour...yea...
