Hi,

Currently, ships can be normally attacked by any ground unit. I mean that those units deal the full damage to ships.
In other Ao games, ships can only be damaged 1-2 hp by those units. Think of it like with airplanes, which also can only suffer 1-2 hp from ground units (except the ones with bonus, e.g. AA gun). Why not implement this here for ships as well?
From a logical standpoint as well, how can a brigade of riflemen effectively attack a fully armored postmodern battle cruiser? Makes little sense.
I feel like ships should battle other ships or planes, and ground units should mind their business at land operations

Your opinions pls

Its an edge case, since ships can stay away from the ground attacks so easily for the most part, and the damage is not significant.



"In other Ao games, ships can only be damaged 1-2 hp by those units"
I vividly remember killing warships with swordmen so I'm having a hard time here.

Well the logic in aos is if a ship next to a shore then the sword infantry can board it from land so deals bonus dmg similar to attacking buildings

Well, AoS plays in middle ages. I was referring more to AoWW2. There and here, there's no logic in melee units attacking ships!

it is ok they attack them imho.

Well, if it's that much of work to change this... I believe this isn't as important as the other topics.
