Rifle ranges

[NY Cavalry]

This is a great game and I enjoy playing it very much.

I know the team here has worked hard and put a lot into this game, I'd just like to make a few requests.

That in the infantry rifle table, every rifle be given a "b" line where the only change is that the rifles will have a range of 200 yards. So, we could mod OOB's and keep artillery off the front lines.

That counter battery effectiveness be increased and this effectiveness would be the same for yank and rebel batteries. In counter battery, it was usually solid shot that was used, not much fused projectiles.

That all units in column formation received greatly increased casualties. And slow the movement rate of troops in column formation.

These are merely requests, I will continue to play the game regardless. I'm just saying the MP community can be a competitive bunch.

I agree on all points. But I'd like to add one: infantry regiments should be able to select targets, like cannon. That would help keep cannon off the line.

I mean. . . it's not as if you guys have anything else to work on.

:huh:

Lately, guns are rolled up to the line and infantry is used to "shield" them. Infantry will select the closest unit, so they eat canister but can't fire back.

There is a request in to have more rile types available in the rifles.csv. For example, rifles with 180, 200 and 220 yard max ranges. That way players can mod these rifles into their custom OOBs for MP.

Uh oh, word leaked out. I was going to stick 180 yard rifles in, announce that our troubles were all over, and then start rolling the guns up!

So. . . what are the chances of giving a player the ability to choose targets for infantry regiments? Or even a shoot at infantry or arty button like the cannon have?

I think that's worthy of a request. That could be a cool feature.
