| — In-game description |
The Coastal Gun is a defensive world structure found near water in certain towns that automatically fires at enemy small ships and amphibious vehicles on water.
Construction
As a world structure new ones cannot be built you can only rebuild existing ones when they are destroyed. It is rebuilt with a Construction Vehicle and 200 Basic Materials (switch to Upgrade Mode with F then press E). The Fortifications 
upgrade is required at the nearest Town Base or Relic Base before you can rebuild it.
Defense
It has a lot of health and is pretty resistant.
It automatically fires at any enemy ships (except Large Ships), accurately in 150m range, and inaccurately up to 200m. It can fire in a full 360 degree arc. It fires every 3 seconds and each shot deals 1000 damage (5m radius explosion). The shots it fires are not actual projectiles, and instead put an explosion on a spot directly. Due to this its shots are not blocked by obstacles or terrain the gun can fire at any vehicle in water within its range. It treats land vehicles mostly or fully submerged in the water as ships and fires at them until they are destroyed. It doesn't target swimming infantry. It doesn't need to be garrisoned to work.
