Naval Infantry

**Naval Infantry**, also known as **Marines**, are infantry trained in amphibious landings and urban warfare, these soldiers embark and disembark at any coastline regardless of terrain or port access, and really pack a punch when assaulting enemy positions or in capturing port cities.

Also note that these used to be more stronger when there were islands without harbours, but they can also be used to cross rivers and lakes before building pontoons and also to invade provinces in the mainland without harbours, where most players do not deploy troops to.

### Real life equivalent(vehicle)

Likely a BRDM-2, same as the tier 2 combat recon vehicle.

### Strengths

Soft targets, espacially useful in suprise attacks

### Builidings

Army Base level 2, Naval Base level 2 and Recruiting Office level 1

### Attack and defense rating to soft targets

6.0 attack, 3.4 defense(level 1 and 2)
7.0 attack, 4.0 defense(level 3)

### Attack and defense rating to fixed wing aircraft

0.5 defense(level 1 and 2)
1.0 defense(level 3)

### Attack and defense rating to rotary wng aircraft

0.6 defense(level 1 and 2)
1.1 defense(level 3)

### Resources needed

850 supplies, 800 components, 1000 manpower and 1500 dollars

### Daily upkeep

70 supplies, 30 manpower, 30 fuel and 90 dollars

### Mobilization time

22 hours(level 1)
23 hours(level 2)
1 day(level 3)

### Tier 1: Basic marines

With the amphibious abillity, these are deadly from the start already.

##### Upgrades

1. Basic marines: Starting research on the unit; day 2
2. Engine upgrade: better speed; day 6
3. Portable air defense; better defense against aircraft; day 9

#### Abillities

* Low radar signiture
* Can conquer land
* Amphibious
* Can deploy armanent
	+ Unmaned ground vehicle
		- Capacity: 1
		- Reload: 1 day(level 1 and 2)/18 hours(level 3)
	+ Elite loitering munitions
		- Capacity: 1
		- Reload: 12 hours(level 1 and 2)/8 hours(level 3)

#### Tatics:

Since it is very expensive and needs a lot of stuff for production, it is suggested that this only be used in a planned invasion. It is also suggested that it be stacked with the Amphibious combat vehicle.

### Builidings

Army Base level 2, Naval Base level 2 and Recruiting Office level 1

### Resources needed

850 supplies, 800 components, 1250 manpower and 1750 dollars

### Daily upkeep

75 supplies 40 manpower, 40 fuel and 95 dollars

### Mobilization time

1 day, 1 hour(level 4)
 1 day, 2 hours(level 5)

Now, it is getting really lethal due to much higher damage.

##### Abillities

* Radar signiture low
* Can conquer territory
* Can board an Embraer C-390 from airport/airfield to another airfield/airport
* Amphibious
* Can deploy armanent
	+ Unmaned ground vehicle
		- Capacity: 1
		- Reload: 18 hours
	+ Elite loitering munitions
		- Capacity: 1
		- Reload: 8 hours(level 4)/6 hours(level 5)
* NBC protection(level 5)

#### Upgrades

4. Advanced marines: tier 2(day 13)

5. NBC protection(day 18)

## Modern marines

Modern marines-EUNote that the photo was from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marines

### Builidings

Army Base level 2, Naval Base level 2 and Recruiting Office level 1

### Resources needed

1000 supplies, 950 components, 1500 manpower and 2000 dollars

### Daily upkeep

90 supplies, 50 manpower, 55 fuel and 110 dollars

### Mobilization time

1 day 3 hours

Now, this unit is extremely lethal. If you have no ranged attack units or air force or missle force, it is almost immposibble to defeat.

##### Abillities

* Radar signiture low
* Can conquer territory
* Can board an A400M from airport/airfield to another airfield/airport
* Amphibious
* Can deploy armanent
	+ Unmaned ground vehicle
		- Capacity: 1
		- Reload: 12 hours
	+ Elite loitering munitions
		- Capacity: 1
		- Reload:6 hours
* NBC protection

#### Tatics

It is now safe to make it operate on itself.
