British rifle men accuracy whilst on the move.
« on: May 29, 2012, 01:42:35 AM »
Couldn't see a topic on this so thought I would ask. Seems like for only the British riflemen they suffer a massive decrease in accuracy when moving, the cross hair opens up really big when they move but this does not happen for rifle men in the other armies or light infantry (including British) their cross hairs stay nice and small at least for me they do. Just wondering if this was intentional, just seems that the Brits already suffer a bit from being different from other teams by having no lancers(but get rockets instead that are more dangerous for the Brits than the enemy) or hussars (not sure if light dragoons horse is as nimble and fast as Hussar light horses) seems a bit unfair considering Brits had the finest horses in Europe by the ends of the Napoleonic wars.

Plus don't attack me saying the Brits didn't have Lancers or Hussars. Brits had 7th 10th and 15th were converted to Hussars and the 10th were even equipped with Baker rifles. And they used Brunswick Lancers that dressed like the Austrian 1st Ulans and Hussars who were present at Waterloo just as they used the KGL.

Thats just the 95th, always a tad drunk while fighting.

British were armed with lances after the napoleonic wars

I know that the British raised native lancer troops after the Napoleonic war but just like they recruited ex-Hanoverian troops into the KGL they formed Lancer units from Brunswickers who took part in waterloo and other battles. So you can't say they didn't have any.

British troops were not armed with lances during the Napoleonic Wars.

Yes native British soldiers were not armed with lances but British employed alot of German soldiers and some of those did as i stated. If your saying they should't be included because they are not British that's like saying the KGL should not be included.

You people are derailing the conversation. What he is talking about is that unit's are horribly unbalanced when moving from one another. When walking with the rifle presented, British riflemen's reticule opens up and the Prussian Jagers doesn't for example.

I've never noticed it, and I've spent quite a while playing as the 95th. He might be referring to the sergeants of the 95th, which do indeed have less accuracy and have their reticule open up when they move.

Think people need to get off the playing field of names meaning something, for example the British had dragoons ... which wern't dragoons and were infact just heavy cavalry ... much the same infact of name changing, just because the name changed from lancers to hussars or hussars to lancers didn't mean their equiptment changed at all ... or infact they had the equiptment their name suggests.

For example both British and French at waterloo had dragoons ... neither side used cavlary rifles.

Much can be the same for hussars and lancers, the british name changing from hussars to lancers dosn't imply an equiptment change, nor does it apply that when they were hussars they wern't using lances.

You'll find much the same with modern armies, the majority of "Air Corps" are actually on the ground and probably hire more guards than they do pilots. The "Army Air Corps" of Britain majoritily sits on the ground ... so are they Army or Air Corps?

This is just a bit of point proving for naming of regiments for military aspects ... like secret services ... that everybody knows about.

You know if you aim while walking your accuracy is about the same as it is when stationary, this goes for all classes.

They didn't until you said that, I'm kicking you out of the service for revealing us.
