How to make cannon projectile more deadly?

[p.jakub88]

========================================================================================================================

Hello everyone,

I. Introduction.

I noticed, that some ammo types are quite ineffective at long range (i.e cannonball ) and inflict a little or no damage on enemy troops when hits the ground.

I saw a cannonball in ETW land battle, which killed only one soldier ( directly hit = almost headshot ), but the soldiers nearby ( even the soldier next to the killed one ) withstand the explosion....

Anyone know, that a cannonball contains of iron and black gun powder inside, so the "blast" should kill someone.

========================================================================================================================

II. Question.

--->How i could increase the damage from the projectile?

So, not only the damage from the cannonball hit, but from the explosion too.

I don't want to change the overall default vanilla cannon accuracy, only the damage that the particular cannon ammo type could do.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I noticed, that some cannon ammo has an "ability" to explode when hits the ground ( or in the air...).

The normal cannon ball "ability" is named as "impact" - inside the projectiles_tables.

I wonder, if it is possible to "give" the round cannon ball the "ability" to explode?

For now - in default vanilla ETW, the cannon ball are killing only by its "impact power", so the people nearby the "impact zone" would be not killed.

when can we see one?

because I don't see the artillary as much threat as it should be.

can you do more on the smoke of the canon balls when they hit the ground.

I like to see white smoke which appear and disapper fast.

If this is your wish list --> download the "Blood and Smoke Mod".

I figured it out, where i could change some values for cannon projectiles --> that's all.

Simply ask someone inside Mod Recommendations thread for such mod.

Making bigger smoke from cannon ball impact, wouldn't change the effectiveness of this type of cannon ammo...

Make your own mod, instead of making such requests.

Or simply ask someone inside Mod Recommendations thread for such mod.

I have made impact effects similar to this in my mod.
