my vampire coast ranged infantry units can't shoot

[efd731]

literally waht the title says. in three battles in and none of my ranged infantry has taken a single shot, they just walk at slowest speed towards the enemy unit ive told them to shoot, similar to how artillery units used to just move towards towers in seige battles when told to shoot them.

well done CA. you nailed it lol

[Spooky]

do you have melee units blocking thier line of sight?

[Basso]

Mods enabled? My ranged units works good.

[Kinja]

My ranged units shoot just fine. Make sure you don't have other units in front of them, they're not crossbows/bows, pistols/rifles obviously need a clear line of sight to fire.

[Mr. Nobody]

Line of sight works differently in warhammer 2 than in the first... still buggy and always funny too see my canon want to climb walls in seige battles

[efd731]

no mods,(theyre still broke from the update) and no, melee units are behind them, and the grounds flat, theyre just shooting (or attempting to) in a straight line.

[TVMAN]

Mine are also shooting fine, but then again I'm not ordering them to shoot at stuff. I'm positioning them facing the direction I want them to shoot in (like into the flanks) and letting autofire do the rest.

Umm that's cos it's a cannon you need mortars to fire over walls... They are cannons not mortars lol


There firing arch cannot go as as high as a mortar cos well they are cannons

Gun shoot straight just like skaven warpfire thrower. That mean you can't do the usual volley tactic just like the other faction that has bow unit.
If you want your gunner to keep shooting while your melee are tanking the unit, use monster/large type unit as frontline instead.

Huh. Never occurred to me to use monsters as the front line. I always just found little hills to put my guns on, or had them move to the flanks.

[Trench Rat]

I think blackpowder units have trouble shooting over friendly melee units unlike archery units. Just a thought because I noticed my zombie gunners had to move on the flank to fire into enemy melee units engaged with my own.

My battles lines end up being a poorly shape "U"

[The Hat]

Yeah you need hills if possible, if the gunners can't get to a hill then flank with them. It doesn't matter all that much if they take losses with raise dead and various casualty replenishment boosts, and of course lore of the vampires on various LL's.
