Submarine Bombardment

[newfangle]

Why do some people put this in modpacks. It makes little to no sense.


Edit: Yes, it actually makes no sense.

Japanese bombarded California with submarine in WW2. Can't do much actual damage with a puny little deck gun though.

Indeed.

But it makes more sense than what Firaxis gave us, even still with the 1.21 patch, such as elephant units having the ability to airlift. . . while leaders can't!

Actually, it makes lot of sense. The bombardment on submarines is not supposed to be a real bombard ability, it's supposed to show the ability to shoot torpedoes at a ship while staying unseen. The fact that it does allow also land bombardment is a non-wanted effect.

The Japanese actually killed more Americans (a family of five) when one of their balloons exploded in Oregon.

They launched a campaign of weather balloons with explosive-incendiaries attached and they drifted with the wind over the Pacific with the intent of landing in the Northwest and setting the forests on fire. Didn't work.

All five American civilian casualties in WW II were, however, caused by one of them when they foolishly investigated one that had landed without going off. It did when they messed with it.
