For years I have been suggesting an expansion of the APA shiplines. During WW2, the allies used multiple types of landing craft. They had LST's, inshore craft with mortars that targeted the bunkers, and the APA used in the game. However, they also had a variant of the landing ships that had massive rocket launchers that they would fire towards shore. They weren't very powerful, but rockets are armor piercing. They were the most effective against the massive concrete bunkers.

They need to expand the APA shipline to make it worth going. Stopping at lvl30 is kinda stupid. APA's take a long time to capture the harbor itself as it is.

No rockets.

Probably like 5" gun damage, relatively good range, horrible spread, longer hang time, slow train/elevation time but almost no damage once you put a small amount of armor on, fast fire rate too. Something like this could probably work if they understood the code enough...

And there were PLENTY of WW2 rocket launchers:
British UP AA rockets
Russian Katyusha rocket trucks
German Nebelwerfers
Nearly every powerful airforce had aircraft launched rockets
14.96" naval rocket fitted to the sturmtiger but intended for U-boats

Not getting in the rocket or not debate, my take is you ar suggesting an extremely lobg range weapon that could hit the harbor from assault spawn or nearly?

That would severely unbalance HAs as the defenaive fleet would have to rush the attacking one, or see their harbor slowly getting shelled. The attacking fleet needs to beat the defensive one within the timing limits, not the other way. If you dont even need to beat the defenders to hit their harbor, HA becomes kinda lame.

And avoid historic reference to support a point. Its a game. No BB ever cruised 50 knot, and subs were going 8 knot underwater. There was no blocking salvos.

You dont want the US harbor to pop a nuke either, right?
