I like howitzers. They can lob their shots over obstacles and their advanced ammunition have negative effect on the enemy soldiers.
However I get the feeling sometimes that they don't kill that many enemies. During the battles it seems fine, they bombard the enemy and hit quite often, especially when I micromanage them by ordering them to fire in the front of advancing enemies. When the battle is over and the result screen shows up, sometimes they didn't kill many enemies. Is this some bug? Can it be that the kills from the smoke that quicklime shells produces doesn't count?

"A game that contains both Carl Linnaeus and five different types of artillery projectiles are indisputable exceedingly detailed." - Peter Englund on Empire: Total War (translated by Thrashmad)
