The problem I see with coastal guns is much the same as with surface combat. The defender seems to be able to respond to EACH assailant, regardless of number, simultaneous nature of the attacks, and operations limits. So, instead of simply using the number of defending guns, they have used the number of defending guns multiplied by number of attacking ships!!! Who designed this, Jackie Chan? Bruce Lee?[8|][:D]
Unless this gets fixed, I can only see slapping more armour on ships, landing craft.
Examples:
