Eh what can I say, people figured out how to monetize victimhood.
Thats genius really.
Cant find the battle, but thats how guns vs spears went
"These horrible people, no honor, no bravery. This is why we are better"
....really? you are better? thats why you are living in huts, starving, and killing your next door neighbors? BEFORE the white man even got there? Maybe instead of bitching about being behind and its unfair, how about you get clever and beat them at their own system. You know, like feudal japan did after we borderline forced them out of seclusion.
Eh man, if you got nothing going for you.
or just bitch about asians being OP i guess
"we support all minorities.... except Asians, they make us look bad"
"chad nigger vs virgin slope"
@GingaBomber this is a better example for Guns vs Melee :P

But... Musket lines
And sexy british uniforms
bit of a one-sided fight that 1h clip is 😛
Eh, so was the war
Well, zulus lost almost 7k vs 2k europeans.
Then again, might have a point, europeans would retreat earlier.
Still thoguh balance wise, sure, you have cannons, and musketlines, but youd encounter waves of a 100 at once. They will drop like flies, but once they get close, your firing line is screwed.
true, though in most cases they wouldn't all just stand undefended they'd have ways to keep the people on distance
walls, dem spike barriers, pits etc
Im talking the game tho.
IRL, well, they had volley fire formation.
yeah
I like the volley fire formation. Pike and shot period to shot and bayonet period has to be my fourth favourite moment in war
When it comes to war history
Worst thing to hear in this mod? Your commander yelling "affix bayonets"
haha
Well, cause spears are actually better than bayonets. In close range. Rifles wernt long enough to be used as conventional spears that time.
I mean whys that?
for the non-spear people i'd imagine?
Well, spears were better than swords in general
yeah
but i always figured bayonets were for a last moment stab when you're still shooting and don't have time to draw another weapon
well, with fire rates that slow, youd only get one chance in close range.
So you switch to a melee range. A bayonet just happened to be the most cost effective way to get everyone cheap bladed close range weapons.
Unlike calvary that would get cutlasses.
Like what? Club them to death with the stock?
well if you're on your own yes, but wouldn't you get a bit more time to reload when your squad fires too?
Well, unless you have some form of volley fire.
Thats an issue.
Also, if you are firing alone, you are already doing something terribly wrong.
maybe you're Chuck Colonorrist?
