Bombardment process change:
Rather than start the ship bombardment at a fixed range of 3 to 12 depending on the ship type, the start range is 30 for day and 15 for night.
As range closes, weapons become more accurate. This also means weapons become available to fire as range closes, rather than be mainly available immediately as currently.
If a minimum Bombardment Range is set, then the ships will outside that range of the shore and only guns with the range will fire. Setting the range to 0 will make the TF behave as now.
I must say, I am a little confused with this change... [&:]
sooo... if I set "Min bombard range = 1" and the TF is heading for night bombardment, the ships will not go closer to the shore and fire only from guns that have at least 16 000 yards range (beginning 15 + 1)? Is it correct?
So to use the 12,7 cm Mogami class secondary armament (of range 16 000) effectively we should rather decrease the range to 10 000 yards?
But there are no negative numbers, which means we cannot REDUCE the "15" range?
How "the range closes"? Up to what range, then?
