Artillery Accuracy
I think I may be having an issue with the artillery item as each shot fired always falls wide of an enemy outpost. The shots leave the base properly and travel without issue, they just always miss very widely, even to the point of a few close calls with friendly fire. Is the mod working as intended or is there a possible conflict with the mortar accuracy mod? Or something else entirely?

Other than that, this mod series is top notch and I appreciate the work you have done to make this.

I was just testing the artillery in dev mode and it's really absurdly inaccurate for me as well, same with the catapult. Both have at least 3x the spread of a normal mortar it looks like. the projectile left the barrel moving at like 45 degrees away from where the gun was actually pointing several times, and never came anywhere close to affecting the target in over 50 rounds fired. If this is intended it's damn stupid and very disappointing.

just read a comment from the modder on another post from september: "Artillery used during siege is essentially a rapid firing low accuracy version of a mortar"

so it is intended I guess... seriously it should be the other way around, mortars are already very inaccurate as it is, we don't need a way to waste shells even faster. What's missing is a slower firing more accurate version, and that is actually the role of artillery in real combat. It takes much longer to load a giant gun than a little tube, and the long barrel makes them *more* accurate, not less.

The catapult also seems totally pointless, even if you plan on staying medieval theres just no point at all because it will A) never hit anything at all. and B) you can only use stone chunks as ammo

Do anyone know what file to edit to manually edit the spread of how inaccurate it is? File and line name?

I really wanna make the artellery more accurate for myself.
