Arquebusiers nerf?

[Fox24U]

Heya
Anyone notice the performance of arquebusiers drop after the new season was in?
I could not find anything in the patch notes about this but now they cannot fire more than 50% of the time when it's raining, and cannot hit anything even 15m away in a sandstorm or fog - They did suffer some debuffs before as well but not to that extent.
Also I might be wrong but it feels like the general accuracy of the Kriegsrat got nerfed in the last couple of days.
Any thoughts?

they have been bad since season 1. u used to get like 12 hits a volley. now its like 3-4 if that

good, they do to much armor penetration, they would be OP with 100% accuracy

Armor Penetration is their whole point, and so far as I remember they never had 100% or even close accuracy
I just found it weird that they get severe debuffs by almost anything that is not perfect weather, much more so than they used to, and no changes were noted anywhere to my knowledge

Yea i dont agree with ninja nerfs but they are still strong

Oh, they are definitely not bad :D, Kriegs are still my favorite unit in the game and can chew through anything without a shield from a considerable distance, but as you said, un-announced nerfs are a bit bad. Speaking of which, anyone have an idea if it actually says somewhere what the modifiers are for weather and terrain ( not just on muskets ) are, like in a table or something?

I know rain disables fire arrows and lowers the accuracy and damage of firearms.

Night slightly reduces the max range of archers and fog makes player markers only appear from up close

The stuff is that some rifleman ARE inaccurate the chinese one and kriegrats are quite innacurate usually 20% chance to hit beyond 20-30meters

tercioo and top line Desmene arquebus have a decent accuraccy per voley 60% chance to hit at 30-40meter

and bottom liine accuacy can hit at 60meter pretty accuately.

the bonus of the veterancy and nodes and the type of gun they have change what they do a lot.

if you want accurate long range rifle Demesne bottom line veterancy and Janissarries are the most accurate rifles in game;

if you want pure raw dps imperial and kriegs are the way to go for a balanced rifle unit top line Desmene or Tercio are the way to go.
