Overview

The Landing Craft carries four ground vehicles across water. It has no weapons and decent hit points, and it is the only way for tanks to reach an island.

How to use

Load by ordering ground units onto the craft, sail to a quiet beach, and unload out of turret range. 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.

Counters

Everything that shoots ships: gunboats, missile boats, cannon turrets on the shore. It counters nothing by itself; it makes landings possible.
