What do thy do and whats so special about them?

[DarkArk]

They have caracass and quicklime. They're also the only howitzers that many factions get.

So no explosive shot?

[DarkArk]

I don't think so. That said with quicklime they really don't need it, which has received a large boost over its Empire counterpart.

Thats a shame....As Quicklime and the other are rubbish rounds that should have never enterd the game....I was hopeing they would be the west's fantiasy answer to the russian unicorns.

[Player2]

haha yea i noticed they were fair bad and wondered why they were put in the game tbh

[TheAussieDigger]

carcass does more damage than quicklime from my experience

they ARE very good. worth the money imo. although not as worth it as normal howies

[Sullio]

Quicklime is a lot better than in ETW, but it's still not as damaging, both physically and mentally, as regular explosive rounds from normal howitzers. At least, that's what it's seemed like in my games.

I may need to revisit the experimentals...
but quicklime was absolutely devastating in ETW, close to the point of being overpowered.

[Red_legged_devils]

It might be good at winning or routing the other side, but its not really right nore does it feel right, Its a lord of the rings kinda thing lol Far out of place, I used it once in a battle i gave my howizer one shot and it missed in ETW and never again used it.

Its excellent against defended postions, and firing a carcass down a units flank can kill half the unit, I take 2 on sp, along with 6 normals...
