can someone explain the best artillery?

[LegioX]

B/c right now I buy nothing but Napoleans, but I do not understand or know which ones might be better.

24pdr Howitzers rule the roost, followed closely by 3-Inch Ordnance Rifles and Napoleons.

[Wandering1]

Once your artillery crews have high firearms and the 1*/2* skills, 24 pdrs start shining because of the massive amount of damage they do with shells/canister.

3-Inchers and Napoleons work great for the less experienced crews by virtue of their higher accuracy values. Similarly you would use 10 pdr Parrotts and Tredegars to train up rookie crews.

Tredegars and James are jokes for their cost. 24 pdr Howitzers are almost overpowered. 20 Parrot will eventually be a class of its own for counter-battery fire. Not quite there yet though.

Did Tredegar just get nerfed or something? I actually found it comparable to Ordnance usually.

Yea, same here.  Good range (although more importantly, good shell range) and the best accuracy out of all the cannon in the game with the normal rate of fire of 30 for most cannon.
