CA, when you want, maybe repair gun powder units?

I know charging half a game's price for a semi-decent DLC is a priority, but maybe try fixing your AWFUL gun powder line of sight problems? And all the other bugs that go back to WH 1? Thx :)

Meh, gunpowder LOS isn't a huge issue if you remember that they're not archers and they need LOS.

They work fine, sometimes you just need to zoom in to notice a bump on the terrain which blocks their shots. I've been playing Volkmar and his Free Company units have had 0 issues in the even desert maps. With Dwarfs it's really sensitive about it because they are so short. Same with some weapon teams like Rattling Guns.

and im over here with like 8 units of handgunners per army in my karl franz game.

i dont seem to have issues running checkerboard formations with them

It's not the game's fault you aren't using them right.

Look up chevron and checkboard formation.

I have quite a lot of hours in TW games. I use checkerboards for frontal attacks, diamond formations when the enemy has many fast units and chevron formations when I can cause when it works it's OP. Still, gunpowder still have LOS issues even when there's clearly nothing in front of them. The forums here, in TW center, etc, are filled with posts saying it. Most videos you can find online explaining gun powder formations in TWWH games mention the problems with LOS. I'm now playing an Estalian campaign (these mods dont change LOS, before the classic "lol you use mods and complain" andy appears). Had 8 battles already vs skaven. In two of them, with clear LOS (went pretty close to see if the terrain was preventing them from seeing, or if there was a placed object, but no, both were clear slopes with clear angle of fire) my gunpowder units just went wonky. It also happens on sieges, when they are in walls half of the times they don't shoot correctly. That it works 4/5 times doesn't mean the gun powder units aren't having problems. It's the same thing always: "I didn't have problems in my last battle, therefore it's impossible there are problems". Even in uphill battles with clear LOS the programming is just bad sometimes and they either dont shoot or move constantly to shoot. This has been a problem since WH 1 and didn't happen near as often in Fell of the Samurai, a much older game.
