Norwegian Forts

[Gunner98]

Working on my next scenario and noticed that the Norwegian Forts are not so fortified.

Not sure but should they not have some Damage points, or am I missing something?

Thanks

Don't the Mounts, like the SK C/32 turrets, have any damage points either?

Check under Weapons mounts :

4 x 105mm SK - Armor Light

Not sure is this doing anything, if there is zero damage points. It seems all coastal forts have zero damage points. I checked under guns, but guns do not have any damage points.

Compare it to "Generic Guard Post", which have 25 damage points (Light armor). I'd say armored gun cupola made by reinforced concrete should have better armor & damage points than simple guard post with sandbags.

As I understand it the battery is a administrative container of subunits/mounts. If it is attacked each subunit, like the SK C/32 turrets, can take a certain amount of damage and when all subunits are destroyed then the battery is destroyed. But you are right that it's hard to find information about the DP of each mount [:)]

I don't see any damage point values on the weapon mounts. Nor do I see anything in the Damage Control section. The weapon mount lists the amount of ammo each mount has, clicking on that gives a DB view of the weapon (the bullet) itself. I agree with El Savior that there should be a fairly significant value. SOSUS bunkers have 600 DPs, other bunkers 25 but they're very small, somewhere in between but closer to the SOSUS is probably right I think. Not sure.

The gun turrets actually depend on their armor to survive. Once the armor has been penetrated, the turret is dead.

That make sense emsoy, I was wondering how damage and armor is calculated. If there is zero damage point and example open well gun (no armor) one shot can be lethal. How revetments are simulated? Are they like armor or do they lower effective blast/shrapnel radius?

Thanks emsoy. Is there a way of checking what DPs the mounts have? I'll send a flock of Fencers to check it out [:D]
