Title: Developer Blog 13 - Artillery!
Post by: Vincenzo on March 17, 2013, 04:27:37 pm: Developer Blog 13 - Artillery!

Welcome back to our 13th Developer Blog. This week we are going to show you some of the artillery pieces we have been working on.

The 3-Inch Ordnance Rifle was a reliable, accurate and fast firing gun, which could shoot all kinds of ammunition, from normal roundshot to shells and canister. Even though the Confederate version of the gun was not as good as the Federal, it was still the second most common artillery piece throughout the war. With an effective range of 1830 yards, it can hit almost anything on the map, without the need to reposition itself. It will be available for both USA and CSA.

The 10-Inch Seacoast Mortar was one of the most widely used guns during the American Civil War. Due to its rather large size and heavy barrel, it was not used as field gun but as stationary heavy artillery piece in forts. The 10-Inch Seacoast Mortar fired 98 pound mortar shells over a range of 4500 yards. This made the gun a very effective weapon against enemy positions.

Yes, I'd like to know too.I hope the system is far more complex and realistic, rather than in NW.

It depends on the artillery type.
The famoust civil war gun, the 12lb Napleon has a brass / golden barrel! ;)

Napoleon 12 pounder:

Title: Re: Developer Blog 13 - Artillery!
Post by: TORN on March 17, 2013, 11:04:05 pm: so how will artillery be handled?
will it be like NW where you are behind it.
or maybe to the side of the cannon?
or in first person on the barrel?

will you be able to follow your cannonball to see where it impacts?
