How To Control Manually Artillery (Manual Aim)
Hi guys. I was asked by some of you that I faced on online battles how to aim manually the artillery so that we can improve performance and kill more units or shoot at targen when we shoot walls or towers during siege. The short video below shows you how:

I know everybody likes ad revenue, but does this really require so many words AND a video?

"Hi guys. To aim your artillery manually just select it and press Insert." Bam. Done.

Thank you I was looking for this.
the aiming mechanism is total ♥♥♥♥ though, because unlike shogun 2 (fots) where you would aim by changing the shooting angle, you now aim by moving the target. this might seem easier, but besides being unrealistic as ♥♥♥♥ it actually isnt easier at all.

cuz now the thing is that if theres a hill in front of your catapults, you cant shoot over the hill with manual aim cuz you cant see the ground behind the hill and thus you cant move your target there. this applies to any situation where you know where to shoot, but you cant see it from third person mode.

so i rly dont see why ppl would wanna aim manually in the first place

Lol thinks that a relevant discussion needs a new thread because time has passed.

isnt it just Alt+right click on target area??

going to check the video out real quick...

ok... so i didnt know what was a thing. but seems a to be a little more difficult to aim accuratly than holding alt lining up the shot and right clicking when you want the rocks to fly
