Weapons Listing

Post by Saddletank »

Hi all

Where can I find in the game files a listing of artillery, infantry and cavalry weapons... maybe even with some idea of the effects/ranges of the personal weapons. The OOBs list various rifles, carbines, etc and I could go through and try and build a listing of them all but was hoping there's a library of them given somewhere.

Second question - is there any performance difference between them in-game?

Thanks.

Download the SDK. Non-artillery weapons are in Logistics\rifles.csv.

Thanks guys, I got it.

Do infantry actually get a better hit ratio at closer ranges? The 160 yards maximum is far longer than the 'long' range listed, for most weapons.

Yes, they do. I know Garnier made some changes to the GCM mod recently which increased hit rates at closer ranges.

Thanks. Was just surprised at the first few columns numbers being so low vs the maximum range column.
