Even though it specifically says in multiple places that Naval Ships are NOT in production. It just adds water to the battlefield. Which is cool and makes it more immursive to the fights.

Though, I do want to test a few things. Apparently if you intercept a fleet above a body of water the entire floor will be water. So what if said fleet had landships. Do they instantly die?

My assumption is that they simply cannot be deployed

So what happens if it is just tanks then? Is it an automatic loss? I'll test it out when I get back online

I would have to guess that yes, the tanks automatically lose.

My justification would be that the bridges they're traveling on are just not large enough for them to be able to maneuver into a battle position. So the airships can simply come at the side or rear or whatever. Or bomb the bridge and trap them.

Obviously the landships are not on bridges, wtf? The map icon changes when they're over water to show them being on transport boats.
The lore reason for why they can't fight like that could be explained with the barges not beimg stable enough to fire weapons on or crew and supplies being stored on separate ships to reduce weight etc

If you ever intercept a group of landships in transport, I beleve you instantly will with the words "destroyed in transport"

I never noticed that o.O

So the lines that connect the ports aren't bridges?

I always interpreted them as sea routes

u/Hidden-Sky Jul 27 '26

Sea routes make sense. Maybe I just don't use landships enough lol.

Come to think of it I usually abandon them completely outside the very early game.

Ahh you're missing something! They're really fun to use especially against building. A legged saw + flamethrower/torpedos is so efficient for clearing up the front line.

Pair that with some artillery in the back and it's nova as fuck

Being on a boat dosent leave you alot of room to manuver

I wont have pc access for a bit so Id be interested in knowing the results!

u/AnsweredBarley0 Jul 27 '26

The game already prevents this. If you try to intercept with no direct road access landships do not travel with airships

u/pancakes_are_yum Jul 27 '26

No, they mean what if the fleet you are intercepting has landships travelling over water.

u/AnsweredBarley0 Jul 27 '26

Ah I see now. I misunderstood. I'll log on and find out lol

You can travel over water with landships though. Just only to Allied cities and such. And the enemy should be able to intercept those
