Vlandian Sharpshooter siege

[Brynjahr]

Summary: Vlandian sharpshooters will go into siege with a crossbow, two packs of bolts and a shield. This means that they lack a melee weapon so cannot engage in hand to hand combat realistically, however they still charge into melee and attack with an empty fist against sword and shield thus dying easily.
How to Reproduce: Get sieged by Vlandian sharpshooters

yeah and at the same time they dont turn to reload so the shields useless anyhow....

 

[Captain Obvious]

it isn't just in sieges, they don't possess a melee weapon.

Seems like a well known issue now but thank you for your worthy additions friends

unsure if this is connected but some crossbowmen are sorted into group 1 with the infantry for battles, despite being counted as range units. They might use melee ai causing them to charge in.
