Immelmann Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 are the different types of arty/rifles portrayed in the game? since csa units had lots of muskets, compared to the usa and their rifled rifles. and artillery, i mean, look.....

Koro Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Question is too damn complicated . Some artillery is rifled in the game which gives them longer range on their attacks. This is also the only way to distinguish them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigafetta Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Lol really in depth question here Immelmann... I think in the game we have not such detailed distinction. Long range cannon (of any class) maybe rifled hence the accuracy and longer range, but I never read anywhere, so cannot be confirmed.

Immelmann Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 lol, complicated? in depth? the distinction is really not that hard, a 12lbs napoleon does not shoot as far as a whitworth. pretty simple. so which arty is rifled in the game? how do i tell the difference? perhaps the game scale does not allow for the distinction? could really use a dev here to answer this. if all units have the same range, then fine, i can compensate for it, i just need to know what the correct answer is. yes or no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidChigger Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Select an arty unit. Change it's ammunition type from auto to canister. See the black lines outlining the guns line of sight? These also show the range of the gun I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fair Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Immelman, Your question regarding artillery is neither difficult to answer nor much of a challenge to implement. The information is readily available. It is NOT COMPLICATED if you can understand an inverse relationship in a 4 column chart with 10 rows (4 ammunition types in column, 10 gun types in rows). I've repeatedly provided this information on this forum. Your question has been answered in detail in my other posts - at great length. In previous posts I've layed out the composition of every battery for both sides, and the performance characteristics of the ammunition types. Let me know if you want this information and I can post it again if you can't find it on this forum. The game portrays different batteries with different artillery characteristics. As SidChigger points out - select a battery and change the setting to "canister" for example. Different batteries have different ranges for each type of ammunition. Generally in UGG batteries with longer canister range will have longer shell and solid shot range. This is absolutely incorrect for the ACW. There is an inverse relationship between accuracy at range and effectiveness with canister. The game does not correctly assign these differences to the correct batteries nor does UGG assign the correct attributes to the guns that made up each battery historically. For example - check out Calef's battery (Only Union battery on the field at the start of the game). Calef's battery was armed with six 3" Ordnance Rifles. Historically this was the worst gun in the entire arsenal of both sides for delivering canister. Yet the canister pattern for that battery in UGG is among the largest in the game. The design team wanted to make a fight out of Buford's cavalry stand heroic; so Calef's canister pattern was increased to one of the most effective in the game. This helped stave off the onslaught from the CSA and balance the game. Historically Buford lost about 100 men. Calef's battery's major contribution was to mask the fact that Heth was facing a skirmish line of cavalry. Buford's cavalry along with Calef's battery were sent to Westminster, MD to refit and resupply after their diversion/skirmish on July 1. Smoothbores were the most effective tools for delivering canister: The most effective gun on the field at Gettysburg for canister was the 24 pounder howitzer. Its short barrel and wide bore made it a devastating weapon at short range. But these characteristics made the howitzer almost worthless for accuracy and range. (Not very complex). The 12 pounder howitzer was next - smaller bore with a short barrel. Next would be the 12 pounder Napoleon Model 1857 that was used extensively by both sides. This was the most versatile gun for canister, shot, and shell. McClellan recommended that the Union standardize on this piece exclusively to reduce the complexity of logistics and artillery ammunition resupply. Northern cannon manufactures prevented McClellan's proposal from adoption. The small bore of the 6 pounder smoothbore made this gun largely obsolete in the ACW. The small bore was inadequate for effective canister. The bore was roughly the size of the 3" Ordnance Rifle, but the 6 pounder lacked the benefit of a rifled barrel for range and accuracy of the 3" Rifle. About half the guns at Gettysburg were rifled: Rifled guns were not as effective at delivering canister. The rifling in the tube caused the canister to have a left-hand twist leaving the barrel of the gun and interferes with a uniform distribution of canister in the flight pattern. Generally the effectiveness of canister with rifled artillery is affected by the size of the bore. Thus: The 3" Ordnance Rifle (preferred by cavalry of both sides for "flying batteries") was the poorest at delivering canister during the ACW. Rifled guns with a larger bore were increasingly more effective. Because of the generally poorer quality at delivering canister, and the superior characteristics at delivering accurate fire at range, rifled guns were preferably deployed behind the line of battle where their accuracy could be used to pick of targets at longer range. Keep in mind that artillery contributed about 6% of battlefield casualties during the ACW. 93% were inflicted with small arms. It took on average about 35 shots for artillery to inflict a single casualty. At Gettysburg the CSA fired about 22,000 rounds (E.P. Alexander). The Union fired 32,781 rounds (Hunt). Casualties at Gettysburg were 50,000. According to the medical reports after the battle about 3,000 of these casualties were inflicted by artillery. 3,000 casualties divided by 55,000 rounds fired at Gettysburg = about 1 casualty per 20 rounds. Canister was the only effective round at consistently inflicting more than a single casualty per round. If you deduct the canister casualties from the 3,000 artillery casualties then you end up with about 1 round in 35 inflicting a single casualty at longer range. Note that at Gettysburg the Union picked up about 6,000 CSA wounded rebels - so we have reasonable information from both sides from the same medical source for this data. So the point is black powder artillery was a direct-fire weapon whose contribution on the battlefield was "more moral than physical" (See "The Artillerists Manual 1861 or 1864" by John Gibbon). Note that it was unusual for CSA batteries to be homogeneous. Generally at least two types of guns made up each CSA battery. Thus CSA batteries were generally fought by two-gun section. Smoothbores forward with rifles located in more advantageous positions to the rear. The primary target of long range rifles was artillery on the move; as this presented the largest target on the ACW battlefield. Infantry in line of battle presented two ranks with a threat surface per file of about 22 square feet (man = 5'5" height X 2' width X two ranks). By comparison a limbered gun includes 6 horses, 2 men, and a threat surface of over 350 square feet plus the surface of the gun and limber. Multiply this 350 square foot threat surface times 12 for a Union battery on the move (six guns, six ammunition caissons, plus 100 men). For the CSA the multiplication factor is 8 times (4 guns, for ammunition caissons, plus about 70 men). The result is a juicy target with a threat surface just south of 5,000 square feet. The CSA lost 35% of their front line artillery horses at Gettysburg - primarily to long range artillery rifle fire. Note that the artillery horse casualties were greater than the artillery and cavalry casualties; each ten percent, and the infantry casualties which were just under 30%. Regarding the Whitworths: There were two of these guns at Gettysburg. They were posted on Oak Ridge and fired at long-range during the battle. Recently a Whitworth bolt was dug up on Little Round Top - conclusive evidence that these guns had a range of 5 miles. These long slender barrels made the Whitworth more of a heavy-duty sniping rifle. These guns were so few in number, with such a small bore, and carried such a small payload they were militarily irrelevant. The screaming bolts from the Whitworths did rout a Pennsylvania militia regiment at Gettysburg; but these men were chided back into the line by the hoots and cat calls of the veteran units on hand to witness the scare. After Gettysburg the primary question CSA artillery battery commanders asked each other was, "how many horses did you lose today." The loss of these draft animals hindered the CSA war effort and left many Confederate guns in static positions in static defenses for the remainder of the war. Mules and cattle can move artillery. Hood used these animals extensively late in the war in the west. But mules can be contrary in combat and were not used on the battlefield for service in artillery batteries. Mules are smarter than horses and consider their own personal safety paramount. Not at all a "for glory, god, and nation" kind of self-sacrificing creature. Cattle used for draft purposes are really slow. They can move a gun to a position - but were not mobile enough to keep batteries safe in the event they needed to be moved. Let me know if you have other questions regarding ACW artillery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fair Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Below is the data for the Union and Confederate Artillery at Gettysburg. Analysis of Union Artillery Losses Summary: 1st Corps: Reynolds 28 guns 596 men ( 9 KIA; 11 MIA; 86 wounded) 18% casualties 2nd Corps: Hancock 28 guns 605 men (27 KIA; 3 MIA; 119 wounded) 25% casualties 3rd Corps: Sickles 30 guns 596 men ( 8 KIA; 17 MIA; 81 wounded) 18% casualties 5th Corps: Sykes 26 guns 432 men (10 KIA; 2 MIA; 7 wounded) 4% casualties 6th Corps: Sedgwick 46 guns 937 men ( 4 KIA; 0 MIA; 8 wounded) 1% casualties 11th Corps: Howard 26 guns 604 men ( 7 KIA; 9 MIA; 53 wounded) 11% casualties 12rd Corps: Slocum 20 guns 391 men ( 0 KIA; 0 MIA; 9 wounded) 2% casualties Cavalry Corps: Pleasonton 52 guns 925 men ( 4 KIA; 0 MIA; 19 wounded) 2% casualties Artillery Reserve: Tyler 110 guns 2,376 men (43 KIA; 12 MIA; 187 wounded) 10% casualties Artillery Grand Total = 356 guns 7,353 men (112 KIA; 54 MIA; 569 wounded) 10% casualties 21 Union guns were disabled during the battle (4 by counter battery fire; 11 by capture [likely spiking the guns]; 1 burst barrel; 1 gun struck on muzzle; 4 unserviceable due to casualties). Note – Minor discrepancy between “order of battle” and “stone sentinels”. My guess is that the upper echelon commanders were not aware of the actual strength of their commands on the “stone sentinels” and there may have been a number of men absent or alternatively local men who fought with units at Gettysburg who did not “muster in”. The artillery would be a logical place for untrained men to serve. Many of the tasks supporting guns require no training [grunt work]. Specifically, for example, the “runner” on a gun crew is one of the most tiring jobs [running ammunition from the caisson to the gun]. Untrained men could also manage the backbreaking logistics of the artillery brigade’s wagon to resupply caissons, holding horse teams, etc… For example the “stone sentinels” for 1st Corps individual batteries total 642 men. This is 42 men more than the total for the “stone sentinel” 1st Corps Artillery Battalion’s 596 men. I’d suspect the 642 is the closer to correct number. With this observation I’d suggest deferring to the numbers in the summary above.

See Page 37 for the Gettysburg History, “That we were not in action at Gettysburg is much to be regretted, as was expressed by General Meade, commanding the army, and by General Hunt, Chief of Artillery.

The most likely cause of a disabled gun was a broken wheel; which could be replaced in less than an hour with a crew of 6 men. The only gun (I can find) abandoned by the CSA at Gettysburg was the gun with the burst barrel. Horses KIA/disabled = 276 minimum (not all batteries reported losses in horseflesh) I’ve counted 65 CSA batteries at Gettysburg. You can double check my count: See http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ConfederateBatteries.php 276 horses = 46 completed teams of 6 or 36% of all front line CSA artillery (gun/caisson) horses “After Gettysburg it was our habit,” wrote Stiles, “when a piece became engaged to send the horses to the rear, to some place of safety, preferring to run the risk of losing a gun occasionally rather than the team that pulled it”. Indeed, horses were so valuable that in the 1864 campaign Stiles reported that when artillery officers met, the first thing they asked each other was, “How many horses did you lose?” Philip Katcher, “The Army of Northern Virginia: Lee’s Army in the American Civil War 1861-1865” p. 52 See: · ANV HQ Monument: http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/HQ-CSA/ANV.php · 1st Army Corps: http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ANV1Corps.php · 2nd Army Corps: http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ANV2Corps.php · 3rd Army Corps: http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ANV3Corps.php · Cavalry Division: http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ANVCav.php First Corps: Longstreet McLaws Division (16 guns 378 men) (12 KIA; 4 MIA; 31 wounded) 12% casualties (80 Horses KIA/disabled) Pulaski (GA) Battery 63 men (July 2: 6 KIA; 13 wounded) 30% casualties 2 (two) 10-Pound Parrotts 2 Ordnance Rifles Ammunition exhausted (30 minutes in Peach Orchard) in 7 hours (18 Horses KIA/disabled) July 3 operational See http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ConfederateMar/Pulaski.php Carlton’s Battery (Troup County (GA) Light Battery) 94 men (1 KIA; 6 wounded) 7% casualties 2 (two) 12-Pound Howitzers and 2 (two) 10-Pound Parrotts Ammunition exhausted in 9.5 hours (in Peach Orchard) (17 Horses KIA/disabled) See http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ConfederateMar/Troup.php 1st NC Artillery Battery A (Manly’s Battery) 131 men (3 KIA; 4 MIA; 4 wounded) 8% casualties 2 (two) 12-Pound Howitzers and 2 Ordnance Rifles 1146 rounds expended over 15 hours (in Peach Orchard) (20 Horses KIA/disabled) See http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ConfederateMar/NC1artBatA.php 1st Richmond (VA) Howitzer Battery (McCarthy’s Battery) 90 men (2 KIA; 8 wounded) 11% 2 Napoleons and 2 Ordnance Rifles 850 rounds expended in 9 hours (in Peach Orchard) (25 Horses KIA/disabled) 1 gun disabled See http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ConfederateMar/Richmond1Howitzers.php Pickett’s Division (18 guns 419 men) (8 KIA; 17 wounded) 6% casualties (25 Horses KIA/disabled) See http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/HQ-CSA/ANV-1-Pickett-Dearing.php Fauguier (VA) Battery 134 men (No losses reported) 4 Napoleons and 2 (two) 20-Pound Parrotts Ammunition exhausted in 2 hours See http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ConfederateMar/Fauquier.php Lynchburg (VA) Battery (Blount’s) 96 men (No losses reported) 4 Napoleons Ammunition exhausted in 2 hours See http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ConfederateMar/Blount.php Richmond (Fayette, VA) (Macon’s) Battery 90 men (No losses reported) 2 Napoleons and 2 (two) 10-Pound Parrotts Ammunition exhausted in 2 hours See http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ConfederateMar/RichmondFayette.php Richmond (Hampden, VA) (Caskie’s) Battery 90 men (No losses reported) 2 Napoleons, 1 Ordnance Rifle, and 1 (one) 10-Pound Parrott Ammunition exhausted in 2 hours See http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/ConfederateMar/Hampden.php Hood’s Division (19 guns 403 men) (4 KIA; 23 wounded) 7% casualties 1500 rounds fired on July 2 & 3.

Nick Thomadis Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 are the different types of arty/rifles portrayed in the game? since csa units had lots of muskets, compared to the usa and their rifled rifles. and artillery, i mean, look..... Field artillery weapons characteristics[1] Name Tube Projectile(lb) Charge (lb) Velocity (ft/s) Range (yd at 5°) Material Bore (in) Len (in) Wt (lb) 6-pounder Gun bronze 3.67 60 884 6.1 1.25 1,439 1,523 M1857 12-pounder "Napoleon" bronze 4.62 66 1,227 12.3 2.50 1,440 1,619 12-pounder Howitzer bronze 4.62 53 788 8.9 1.00 1,054 1,072 12-pounder Mountain Howitzer[2] bronze 4.62 33[3] 220 8.9 0.5 --- 1,005 24-pounder Howitzer bronze 5.82 64 1,318 18.4 2.00 1,060 1,322 10-pounder Parrott rifle iron 2.9 or 3.0 74 890 9.5 1.00 1,230 1,850 3-inch Ordnance Rifle wrought iron 3.0 69 820 9.5 1.00 1,215 1,830 14-pounder James Rifle[4] bronze 3.80 60 875 14.0 1.25 ---- 1530 20-pounder Parrott rifle iron 3.67 84 1750 20.0 2.00 1,250 1,900 12-pounder Whitworth breechloading rifle iron 2.75 104 1092 12.0 1.75 1,500 2,800 Italics denotes data for shell, not shot. a 12lbs napoleon vs a whitworth, guess who is gonna win that gun duel! lol In the game all the different cannon types of each artillery unit are portreyed but the statistics are not visible. You notice different damage or ranges according to the accurate data of David Fair per unit type but the UI is too simple to provide some extra data for those.

Hister Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Oh cool, I thought only range was taken into account and not damage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immelmann Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 wow dave. you went a little overboard there. thanx nick for the "simplified" version. so the different cannon types are portrayed, just not shown due to limited UI. cool. got it. as cid mentioned, there are black lines showing the field of fire dependent on the type of ammo used, but i have not noticed if the field of fire changes do to cannon type (rifled, smooth bore). i will have to pay closer attention there next time i play. thanx cid, but i knew that already, as it is in the tutorials.
