Rock lobbers or doom divers?
I was using the doom diver catapult but on my current playthrough I noticed there was no real difference in range and the doom divers tend to miss as much as any artillary. The rock lobber is armour piercing same range and does more damage so I opted to use that instead.
What do you use in you army?

Doom divers, because of the seeking shots. I usually get 200-300 kills with each one. Rock lobbers are good but only for the cheaper armies

I don't think I have ever got a 200 or so kill on any artillary, I think they are doing well most days if they get 70-100 kills.

Doomdivers can clear 200 kills against numerous armies like Beastmen and Goblins.

There's really no contest when it comes to killing units. Doomdivers are much better at that. They are worse at destroying towers/walls than rock lobbers, though.

Smallest unit sizes, it has been a while since I played so maybe i'm remembering incorrectly. I always thought when it came to the armoured units that a doom diver would be less effective and i'm about to fight the hordes of chaos.

Alright, that would explain the low body count then. As for the armor issue the doom divers aren't half bad at taking it down but they do have trouble against cavalry. I would advise taking a rock lobber for the chaos knights and a few doom divers for everything else.

I only ever have a max of 3 artillary units in any army and for orcs I usually only take 1, this time I took 2 in each army. I like my black orcs and boarboyz :)

Doom DIvers are a straight upgrade from Rok Lobbas. They home in on targets, and in the case of Dwarves can cause a lot of casualties. Doom Divers all the way.

♥♥♥♥ sometimes i can get like 400 kills with one doom diver but it has no AP so go for the soft targets it works best with two rock lobbers and one doom diver.

Ok ty, I may get rid of a giant spider or giant then.
