So I tried to sim the historical British LCA and found that to get a 1.00 the weight had to be 55t instead of 10t and the BC is 2.298. Seems we may have to use historical ships/charts similar to subs/MTBs for these little buggers. I understand that these weren't built IRL until WWII, but here we have a 1910 LST tech, where LST's weren't made until 1940 either. So....if we can built LSTs in 1914 (earliest based on full time tech research) then we should be able to built LCA/LCIs too. Here is the SS.

I've been figuring the 1910 tech was basically the Beetles used later in Gallipoli

On a somewhat related note, I am curious why the amphibious tech tree is under Land techs ?
Did they beat the drum slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
