Poll: Land units turning into ships when they enter the sea is a bad idea

I like having ships whenever I want them.

so what do you suggest instead?

Leaving it as is....

Sorry i meant dechamplain

For a simple (but also demanding) browser game, in which fortunately was waived on pesky micromanaging, automatic transforming into boats is an elegant and handling friendly solution.

Therefore I have elected Blue..

P.S.

What a fumbling, if you instead had to build and to place transport ships for every unit...

The free transport ship system is made worse by there being no supply needs. If each army consumed one supply truck per day, you would need a fleet of transports ferrying supplies to the landing and that could be stopped by the defender. It would also make long distance crossings very difficult.

It is very frustrating as it is impossible to defend against. Even if you spend a large amount of resources to line your coast with submarines, all he has to do is bring one destroyer and he can get through. If there were supply needs, the landing would fail, because it could be cut off from resupply by your subs after it landed.

Yugoslavia can sail across the Mediterranean and Atlantic and land in USA East coast with a stack of tanks and rapidly move inland causing havoc and there's no way to defend against it. Even if you tie down a huge investment in ships to cover the whole coast, he can just bring a few destroyers or a cruiser to cover during the vulnerable 6 hours. You would need a battleship and a few destroyers on every dot to defend. If there was supply need, this would be impossible due to the need for many cargo ships.

And I would like having free anti-tank guns appear by clicking on the map. It would really help stopping light tanks from taking my empty provinces.

It is the same. It's as if you could click on the ocean and spawn a free transport ship.

No I do not want to spend my valuable game play time generating dozens of transport ships. Is it more realistic? sure.

Is it fun? nope

Heck why not create an army of trucks to drive supplies here and there, or if your country doesn't have enough trucks maybe you could use a good ole fashioned mule train to run beans and bullets to your men at the front.

Point being the average game user does not want to spend their time handling the logistics that a port master would have to endure in trying to make sure there are enough ships to cart your merry band of warriors from one side of the map to the other.

IMHO the game makers came up with a clever way of transporting troops in this game and I personally thank them for it.

the only idea i could maybe support is, that land units still ransform into ships, but that you add a unit(the transport ship), that makes the transport faster and has probably more HP. but noone will like it because more units...
