Atilla is really beast in cannon, since Mount & Musket.

Joshly was the best in mm, ATM Munro is the best one I've seen and our own squigs is taking joshlys spot after an insane shot on a line. He got so lucky, I was on arty crew and I had to pick howitzer >.<, anyway if josh gets back then most likely him.

I don't even think Joshly can be on this list. He hasn't really been in NW yet, as he moved to a location with absolute crap internet (dial up essentially) right before NW came out.

"best" is subjective. needs to be defined as what exactly constitutes "best." because let me tell you, it's NOT kill count.

Yes, Ill admit that shot was merely because the Dragoons wanted to set up for me so nicely. So probably Munro or Smithy for what I've seen in NW, although I haven't seen Attila yet.

the best canoneer is any canoneer who actually listens to his team when they tell him "stop arty" or "cease arty" when they have overran the enemy and are charging in to clean up. Can't tell how you annoyed I get when the hooligans on your team's arty insist on continuing to send rounds downrange even though they are putting them right in the middle of the rest of their team.

Usually I'm the one on the howitzer/mortar pleading for my team feed me info.

"Which building are they in? Call it out and I can nail it"
"Tell me when you pass (this point) so I can adjust fire"

etc.

Especially in maps like river crossing. Give me the mortar or the howitzer and I can put a round anywhere you want with one shot. But if you see me dropping rounds in a particular spot and then rush said spot with out opening your mouth, its your fault.

p.s. I wish I could get players on the public servers to pack up into dense little formations like you do in line battles. You'll rarely see 8+ kill shots on a pub match.

Who is Attila? It might be because I'm an NA player, but I've never seen him on a server.

huh? ok anyway nice try shifting blame, but even if you have an eerily silent team, you still shold be able to figure out on your own when the tide of the battle has shifted greatly and there's only a handful left on the other team. you don't NEED someone telling you...

The good ones that I have seen in action first hand has to be either HappyBanana or AllDay. Unfortunately I have not encountered this Attila.

addendum to my first comment:

the best cannoneer is the one who realizes he's support, and not the main show...
