Naval Units at Close Range

[umbro]

Why zero only against "soft targets"? If they bounced off the island, that would mean they were not effective against hard targets, close in, too?
Then again, shooting directly against a pillbox was often done?

They were designed to fire at ships (hard targets) at close ranges and the planners were surprised that when firing at shore targets (soft) many larger calibre shells bounced.

Pillboxes are hard targets , thereby keeping the high attack value, and raised, therefore providing a target that will "stop" a shell.

At least, that what was I was thinking.
