Kriegst Gunners or Imperial Arquebusier?

[RudeDawg]

What are your thoughts as to the better range unit?

I like the bayonet on the Kriegst, but also like the shield break on the Arquebusier.

Your thoughts?

Shield break is king on any unit.The bayonet might seem nice, but you're not bringing out a ranged unit to fight in melee mode.

I love being able to push back enemies that slip through the volley fire with Kriegsrat bayonets. Few things as aggravating as having a couple of demense pikes slip through and massacre half your force. Also, doesn't it take a while to get the block break on the Imperial Arquebusiers?

[Kurate]

kriegs are nice imo

Kriegs all the way IMO. They dump thier clips super fast. So lots of damage in a short period of time then go back and heal

I feel like they are used for different things. Arquebusiers can pressure shield formations away from a capture point, Bayonets are better at unloading on units locked in a fight, plus they can defend themselves if someone slips through.

If i am defending a supply point i want to use Kriegsrat Bayonets, if i am attacking a supply point i want to use Imperil Arquebusiers.
