if it isnt possible to do that, is it possible to speed up the motion of the cannon balls, realistically, you wouldnt be able to see them flying through the air. would it be possible to make the 6 pounders or 12 pounders fire explosive shells like the howitzers and congreve rockets do?
Well from a numerical/mathematical/gameplay point of view it would be simple to simulate grapeshot (shotgun effect)by modding the artillerys range and damage(% accuracy?) settings.Just make the chosen weapon (6/12lb) lethal at close range but useless beyond that....
Of course from a graphical viewpoint its impossible- at least to me who cant even skin a uniform....
even if the artillery was useless beyond close range that would be fine...i just think it would be awesome for the arty to have that effect. do you think there would be a way you could do that? I wouldnt even know where to start
