Hitorishizuka Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Probably. The battery is going to be more or less useless on balance once you consider scaling and disproportionate ammo used for mediocre results. You could also kit them with 6pdrs and deliberately put them on the front line so they take casualties on purpose (and change their officer to someone more expendable). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really good point Hit...I'll write this little gem down!!! Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykes Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Well, The Soldier - is it time to fire up the case study/data analysis again on the 20pdr Parrots? Edited April 3, 2017 by Sykes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it is. And what's more, I'm at the perfect place and time to test it - defending Fredricksburg from the Federal hordes. I'll do a re-test of battery size as well as testing 20pdr Parrotts, although it doesn't look too good from a short experience at Cold Harbor with a couple batteries.

I'm hoping well see better artillery/battery performance. Stupid question; do we have to re-start the campaign to see the updated changes? I'm seeing some glitches with no generals/weapons in the govt reward section after Chickamauga... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already known as a bug. Looks like you'll have to restart the campaign to get your Government buyables after Chickamauga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civsully1 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Have you guys looked at the Weapons Charts done by Tokiedian? If so do you see correlation with the charts and your own observations in your own artillery usage? Soldier, when you do your retests I look forward to your assessment on battery size. And I've begun to wonder if the battery size in terms of effectiveness/damage depends on the cannon type??? In the early part of my playing this game I thought "more was better" and maxing out my batteries. Then I read that probably isn't the case and that a 6-10 gun battery is almost as good. Anyhow look forward to reading more about your results! Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
