Weather and battles?

[Darsh]

Does the weather has an impact the battles?
CA said it would be the case but I don't see the difference between rain, snow or a clever weather.

[Sylver]

I believe rain causes more misfires until you get Percussion Cap.

In navel battles i think it affect how your ships, more wind and bigger waves makes it harder to control your ships.

I spoke for the land battles.

Has anyone actually had a misfire? I have yet to see a misfire.

[J. Fishman]

Well, with hundreds of guys firing, it's hard to spot a single misfire, but I have seen someone fire and then nothing happens.

Often you seen infintary go to fire nothin happens, they try to clear it then refire often it only goes once,

but i had one poor guy try 4 times before he was shot

still waiting for a cannon to blow up, didn't happen in M2TW and so far haven't seen it in ETW

[Berdiche Knyaz]

Nothing, absolutely nothing from the weather changed my battle

Out of the things CA promised that they said, 90% of them were BS

Ive had a mortor blow up in one guys face,then the next guys face [killing them both].I bet the third one wasnt too enthusiastic, luckily he survived

Well quess i can hope that it happens in a battle soon, prefrably to the enemy

Notice that when you fire your ship's cannons (slow-motion) not all cannons actually fire their cannonballs



ps; does anybody knows wether misfire hurts your own ship?
I've seen a couple of battles where my ships weren't hit but they did got very very minor damage...

[Alatar98]

ive seen my units miss fire multiple times

mind you it was a sunny day when i saw it

[Tazgrent]

I've had a howitzer misfire and take out half the unit.

[Darsh]

i don't think that the misfires are due to the weather

there just random i've found

Wet weather is supposed to influence gunpowder units -it increases chances for misfire. I think that indeed happens although it is hard to tell when hundreds of soldiers fire at same time. Other thing is cannonballs. In dry weather thay bounce off the ground, and when it rains they just stuck where they hit the mud.
And one more thing, sligtly off topic: in most of my land battles it rains. Usually it starts with nice dry weather, then light rain starts and it changes into heavy downpour. It happens during winter battles (I have rarely seen snow, its usually rain) and, really annoying, it happens in desert battles in Algiers. Rain in deserts...

Just about every battle for me ends up with at least some rain, usually lots. Unless its a naval battle. Those have always been sunny and calm.

Indeed, naval battles are almost always sunny and calm. I say "almost" because, and I know it is unbelievable, I actually saw one foggy naval battle. I played maybe hundered or more of these battles and one of them had bad weather. It is safe to say that 1% of all naval battles has not-clear and sunny weather. They should balance that in some of the next patches.

[Iron Juggernaut]

I have had no misfires throughout my entire game. No guys having their guns malfunction, not artillery pieces explode, nothing.

I havent had an arty piece explode. But I've had tons and tons of misfires. I figured it was due to all the rain, damned american winters

Dude aims, goes to fire but nothing happens. Shakes/hits the gun a bit, trys again. Sometimes it keeps going more than once, usually with comedic exit wounds to show for it.
