Russian Artillery Ammunitions

[Lackay]

Hey, now that the artillery is working very well i must say. Maybe you guys should add different types of Artillery Ammo, i was thinking more along the lines of Shrapnel

Im guessing, youd fire the cannon ball, itd go a couple meters/feet until it turns into like 20 musket balls. That would be awesome to see on Line Battles, total carnage you know! I bet this would be very difficult but, the way i see it is when it goes into 20 musket balls, its just shooting 20 guns in same spot without the guns themselves there

Canister shot?

Between that, Cavalry, and the new rifles, line infantry might as well just throw their hands in the air and paint big red targets on themselves

<.<

lol, im just saying itd be cool, i lead infantry, just another thing to get around

 

[Azrooh]

I'd like it if it had a rather short range and only a small amount of canister rounds could be on the map at once.
Maybe 1 box a round, with 5-10 canisters before the box disappears would be nice.

 

[LtSpearing]

Indeed. It should either be very weak, or very limited.

The gods have  blessed us with too much already ^.^

The cannon will be too powerful, even more powerful than the grenades was in pre-waterloo.

but they, unlike grenades, need long time to load and reload, now evrybody charge them from front- if you will know what they can do with whole regiment, you split and charge from flanks

We, at a small linebattle with 2e chasseurs, 14th, 1oe and 7th arti could actually see that you can still rotate your cannon in a flank and we managed to every time! Though damn we were to anxious and shot it to early, so it wasn't loaded anymore D:

Just go to screenshot topic you will see that a guy killed the whole enemy line with a cannon.

Canons aren't powerful, they have to use pin-point accuracy against moving targets, canister shot would make it balances, since it's 2/3 people operating one canon they should kill a few more people.

this happened already in Wavre, just a bad decision of Commander at that time-no normal regiment attacking gun in column

Aye however they were not charging our cannon, our line infantry took up position on there flank, they made a line parallel to us. Thus exposing a 1 rank line to our cannon (perfect target) about 100 meters away. Still it took a good shot to to hit them.

Only the British gunners had Shrapnel It was invented by Lt. Colonel Shrapnel, and is a very special type of shot only fired from Howitzers.

Canister would be nice though, as would having Howitzers with canister & Shells if that's possible.

I really doubt anyone could truely say that cannons are overpowered right now. They are only useful against enemies camping in houses and even then you need a skilled gunner to actually hit anyone. I'm not sure if grapeshot is needed, but there does seem to be an issue with the cannonballs calculation of what is a hit and what isn't. The 14te had an extensive cannon vs. cannon battle with each other and twice a cannonball went through me without killing me (its hard to tell exactly where, possibly my arms?) in any case I felt like I deserved to be dead after those beautiful shots. Maybe the cannonballs AOE needs to be enlarged just a fraction?

By the way, the cannons are epic in the way that they function, and the models/textures as well. Great work to those involved there!

Yeah, but the problem is... We don't have thousands of line infantry, we have 30-40 in private events and 250 in public

Right now a line infantry regiment can go and charge even 3 or 4  cannons and easily survive by just not putting themselves in a column, some canister shots ( Obviously prepared not to be OP compared to infantry ) would be awesome.
