just a quick question, can arty actually kill anyone if there outside of there range. I.e i tell the arty to attack ground at its max range in the hope that cannoball will kill something behind it. Beacuse ive been trying to, and i swear they did hit people, but no one died, so just wondering if thats a game mecahnic, or im really unlucky.

yeah, well the reason i asked was because i was trying that, although i think the cannonbals must have just bounced over them, but it really looked as if it hit some guys.

Defiantly if you play multi-player you will inevitably find someone who exploits this, me for example. However its not very effective until you can use shrapnel shot as round tends to fire too high and canister couldn't kill anything out of range. It can work with howitzers mortars and rockets if you have a height advantage.
