Gentlemen, let me make it clear the German Tiger Company did not move, at all, during the entire 39 turns of bombardment by four Battleships and a Heavy Cruiser. I repeat they did NOT move at all (other than one Tiger that retreated fairly early on). The tanks sat there, got bombarded by 16 inch, 15 inch, 14 inch and 8 inch guns for turn after turn.

At the end one tank was destroyed, one was immobilised, one tank had run away and just two other tanks even had to button up. That was the total effect of well over 30 turns of heavy naval gun bombardment on tanks, not moving, in the open, that were the only possible target, with maximum visibility and artillery set to 175% of normal, and with a 10% plus to both British spotting and firing.

Let me be clear I love this game, but I think Naval gun Fire support is under powered (and WWII Air is rather over powered). Not the end of the world.
