battleships in good conditions can accurately fire a maximum range of 40km.
any chance someone can build a strong defensive shore battery position as an artillery piece, like the navarone guns for example that fire a larger shell against invasion fleets. as the howitzers just dont have the range or power and are easily destroyed by cannon fire and the concrete bunkers can be destroyed by 60kg bombs.

the concrete bunkers are objects ...listed in the static ini
try adjusting the Panzer setting and this will make them harder to destroy.
but guns placed within them will not fire...

the howitzers can also have their maximum range increased in the Technics.ini ...but their shells are not very powerful..... the russian 85mm AA/AT gun is quite accurate against tanks...but at ships and with increased range i don't know

the huge german tracked guns have a long range and can be effective against ships...but their shells are lobbed and not very accurate

[danger]

first off, sorry fly, my mistake.... :oops:

secondly maybe a new gun could be made from scratch ?

What about the two bunkers that came with the last regular game update? They have firing guns, could they be transformed or their files be used to create for danger is looking for?

This wouldnt happen to be =JFC=Danger by chance?

I think they're regular artillery objects built to visually look like a bunker. That can be done again, i believe.

thanks for the help lads, guns placed in bunkers will fire as long as one rule is followed.....

the gun barrel must not contact the bunker.
this is the same with all guns v's objects.

but none of the field guns have the range or destructive power of a shore battery gun against ships and the bb will always kill the bunkers and gun in 1 shot .lol

I am making a shore battery by placing the stationary ship tirpitz on a hill and surrounding it with buildings and fortifications until it LOOKS like a hilltop fort.

i agree that it would be MUCH more satisfactory to have something like the Tirpitz' turret and gun sans ship that could be placed as a shore battery

[danger]

i did the same thing with the german coastal defense ships in one of my campaigns, only thing is, when they where attacked the buildings where destroyed long before the ship causing all the aaa guns to open up and revealing the ship sitting on the shore.

maybe FC could be persuaded to make a new static ship which is just a section of a BB with its turret.... to be buried in the ground so that only its turret is showing

now that would be just perfect
