musket lethality

[owen]

I played a game the other day and saw that the muskets don't do any damage realy, even at close range they don't do enough. During the peninsular campaign british line used to defeat colums by intense volley fire, I sense in this game that it doesn't seem to work, I'm not saying the mod is bad because I think its great, but I just get the sense that the balance between melee and shooting isn't quite right as bayonet charges seem to always win. Also I had a unit of rifles that after like 3 volleys were fired they only killed 3 men. Has anyone else found this?

This is a MP mod, the SP is being worked on by others. The forums can help u catch up with the current topics.

SP or MP the musket lethality is deadly at close range, much less at medium/long range. Wait to see the white in their eyes before fire the volley and charge. No french column can resist to that

the mod uses a 1 to 3, hence if you engage at range 70, it really actually is 210, so you need to get to about range 25 so that it is range 75.

Yes.This could be one possible reason.The second is that the soldiers in the first line are just shortsighted.

At least it isn't as bad as Men of War, where the max range of a Sniper Rifle is a whole 70 yards
