1 Do not park on an angle
Recently i shoot a teammate because we are so close and the elevation gun was not enough
result 90% ship damage
park flat to the coast
2 Check the ability of landing force
If you attemp to conquest a full enemy base (neutrals not have army) With a DD or with a sailor low level landing
Forget it, for each landing force appears a number at start 741 with certain ability 800-900
I have one with 25 points of landing makes 968 to a base and it take half of my force (normally 221 units)
