research TD_AMPHIP?

Is there any point in researchin the AMPHIP value for Transport Fleets? How does the rating effect the ability to land various units against neutral and enemy coasts?

For all countries except Japan, transports start with an amphib capacity of 3.

All units require 5 to be carried, except tanks which require 10. This means at start you would need 2 transports to lift a single infantry and 4 ( well 3 1/3) to lift a single tank.

Improving this number is certainly beneficial if you as Germany intend to launch any large invasions. As Japan, it is probably not worth upgrading since research dollars are precious. I have not played the WA but I get teh impression that they are so rich and have so many transports that they may not need to upgrade this. I could be very wrong about the WA, however.
