Make d-day coastal guns usable by german troops in normandy


Since there are a pair of these of d-day map it would be a nice addition to make them working for the players and making the first objective part more realistic, with artillery pounding the beach and not just mg nests. (of course there wouldn’t be a single man for turret, at least a gunner and a loader like on the pak)
Also adding 5 cm guns like this would be neat:
Atlantic

It would also be not unbalanced since attackers now have smoke artillery in order to advance in cover.

EDIT: I realised that the first guns are for anti-naval duty so I pretty much messed about them :sweat_smile: still would be nice some kind of indirect artillery or other fixed positions like the 5 cms guns

You mean on artillery squad that is almost not used at all as far as I can see in the game?

You mean the smoke artillery that literally no one (except me in Tunisia… rarely) even uses, and when it is used, not a single monkey at least tries to utilize it?
Yeah, what a perfect counter balancing things out huh.

Remember also that fixed guns are easy targets for tanks

That might be somewhat true, but what I´m saying is… that reasoning behind this idea is rather fishy.
And, since allied population is also dwindling in Normandy, giving axis one more toy to pound yankees on the beach even harder is not going to do much good at the moment anyway.

Agree!

Also, Let the Allies call the destroyer shelling support, and each player can call individually to blast the Panthers and FG42 German Superman on the beach.

maybe have those costal guns be secondary objectives
they could be destroyed by tanks, detpacks or a well aimed rocket barrage

That would be a good idea

And you will use them to fire at…? Ships that are just props?

I meant them to be used as indirect fire guns and the 5 cm guns as direct fire

Look my edit on the first post

Sry, I didn’t notice.

No problem :+1:

the funny thing is that they are mg42, if you get in front of them when they shoot you are killed by enemy with an mg42
