Volley fire?

[Willow Ufgood]

will volley fires be added in? i hope so soon cause i miss seeing arrows falling down from the sky like rain

Volley fire was a feature in warband / floris mod i think they will get around to it

[Tankfriend]

Feel free to manually work it with hold fire/fire at will. Not the same, but the best you can do right now.

[Free Luigi M.]

Cool feature, but strategically pointless. Not too hung up myself on it being added or not.

[Raven's]

hold fire f4 and f4 again for fire at will

Being able to tell your archers were to shoot at would be quite helpful though. Would be nice if volley fire came with such a feature.

[Martell]

It would add a lot of immersion and be really fun. It would even have a tactical advantage since you could time the volley to the best moment.
It was so great to order a fire command in Fire and Sword, imagine how a huge cloud of deadly arrows would feel like :D

It wouldn't be tactically pointless. It would mostly be for archers but would be the whole point of using crossbows against horse archers, as it was historically, obviously with an even greater effect with early firearms.

volly fire is a hollywood thing... it look cool on the screen, but make no sense in the real world.

If the OP meant rank firing...it would actually be very useful for xbowmen formations 3 deep.

It has NEVER been a thing with archery, could be done with crossbows, but never with archers.

fair aight seems to make sense to me though just leaving less room to miss firing all at once maybe let crossbow do it then

hang on what do you mean it has NEVER been a thing watch this https://youtu.be/DSq5GX0G3Co

and also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Agincourt it has been used in archery it seems it was used in the battle to draw the french in for an attack

Another would-be feature with no real point in the game. :p It's much better idea to let the men take care of their own job instead of micromanage something like that.

the more control i can get over my army the better of course i could just give command to the sergeants or auto calculate the battle but i don't mind a using my own tactics honestly the rate of fire for archers at the moment kinda is like a volley so i see your point it being "pointless" but right now with the way i play i am already turning off and on fire at will because some soldier being higher than others fire at a ridiculous distances and way too early for my liking that i why i would like a volley fire it would feel more consistent
