The Landing Craft carries eight points of cargo weight across water: eight light vehicles, four vehicles of weight two, or two oversized vehicles such as the Mammoth Heavy Tank. Its broad open deck sits between raised side cabins, with shrouded fans at the stern and a rubber cushion skirt around the hull. It has no weapons.
How to use
Load by ordering ground units onto the craft, sail right up to a quiet beach, and unload out of turret range. Its ramp only reaches land beside the hull. Two craft moving together deliver a real strike force. Scout the landing zone first: a loaded craft sunk by a cannon turret loses everything aboard. On naval maps, killing enemy landing craft is the surest way to keep your homeland safe.
