I do not remember exactly what was in version 1.9, but now the coastal fort is artillery.
Which can be repaired unlike ordinary forts. And shoots at 3 hex. Which is very dangerous for ships.
As for the British fort, we are all the time leading an artillery duel through the canal. With a different result.
I wanted to strengthen both the German and the British coastal defenses, especially at the English Channel. So I did some more research and decided to move all coastal batteries to the artillery class from the previous structure class. So that their damage can be repaied and they can also provide defensive fire to friendly ground units placed next to them when an invasion is in progress. It is also useful for the protection of Norway and other parts of France and the main Romanian port of Constanta against the superior Soviet fleet. Now ships have to be more careful when closing these areas.

As for the Dover Strait guns, there were some big long range guns on both sides which occasionally duelled, but could not really hurt each other and I tried to give them such stats. Here is a nice overview:

Our fleet departed on bases.
Because of the fuel crisis, we can only afford to operate on our shores.
To avoid this, we need to capture the oil fields in the Caucasus.

Although Moscow fell, it seems the Red Army is not going to flee and surrender.
At the same time, our resources are very limited. (Do not forget about 50% prestige)
And our economics experts advise to end the war as soon as possible, otherwise, there simply will not be enough resources.

South
By tradition, we divided the Army Group South into two parts.
One part blocks Stalingrad from the south and captures Astrakhan.
The other part has the task to move to the Caucasus and capture the Grozny and then Baku oil fields.
Another small group has the task of taking Novorossiysk and moving along the Black Sea coast.
Having the task to clean it up and capture the remaining fleet bases.

Strong Soviet artillery support from the sea is observed in the Novorossiisk area.

Yes, it works well.
But you need to carefully plan what and when to upgrade.
Of course you need to know upgrades tree.
This tank PzIIIJ/1.
I moved units for an upgrade in several turns before, knowing when they would be available.

It is necessary to withdraw it from the battle (which is not always possible).
The road to Germany (about 2 turns) and the opposite.
And the upgrade itself is 1 turn.
All about 6 turns.
This means that the unit will not be upgraded more than once a year :)

This time there are enough troops to block.
And there is no direct attack of Stalingrad. There is a bypass from the south.
Also, all reinforcements Soviets receive from Siberia.
If the Stalingrad-Astrakhan line is blocked, the Caucasus will be blocked and will not receive reinforcements.
