In reality, only up to third row could fire. A lot of those men are also panicking from the incoming bayonet charge decreasing the accuracy considerably.
@@SandvichTrolli48 now you said it. It looks like only 2 rows fired and some opportunist 3rd row fired as well. It's different from the mod I'm currently using which allows everyone to fire that seems so unrealistic. But it's angled so we can't see it properly. What mod is this?
And the thing is, the people who shot the muskets are also terrified almost out of their minds from the incoming charge, because it takes absolute balls of steel to stand your ground during a mass banzai like that.
Not sure those are french i think this is a mod and its american troops but i could be wrong i just watched a pixalated apolo video and the uniforms seem to be the same
That's actually the French Flag from the Old Regim, guys A White Flag, some blue on it, 2 angels and like you said with "Le Fleurs de Lys'. You could say "Golden Lily Flowers" The Old Coat of Arms from "La Monarchie Française" French Monarchy which no longer exist ⬜️🟦⚜️⚜️⚜️🟦⬜️ I don’t remember The French Infantry wearing a Blue navy coat. That would be the American ones The French wore a White Coat or a Grey with some blue pattern
I'm not sure if any French royal infantry regiments wore a blue coat with white pants in the 18th century, but the graphics are nice, if not historically accuracy
Imagine getting within 20 yards of your enemy. You’re closing in, about to thrust your bayonet into a Frenchmen for the first time in your life. Just to get blown away point blank range by a fucking musket ball.
@@ngng1156 I figured, they didn't timed the charged well, they should've waited for them to shoot and then charge in. They lost like 20% of their men when they got shot point blank. I guess they thought they could make it in time
This kinda reminds me of that scene from Barry Lyndon when British troops marched right into French volleys what a great movie and what a mod I wish this was empire although I still love the gane
talk about not in time. I had that happen while i was on ETW doing the screenshots of some of the DLC units on there and I had that happen. they made it in while the first rank was opening up on the enemy.
That is actually quite a smart thing to do historically for the British. As the enemy will aim high, the gunpowder smoke will blow up on their faces and blind them at the moment the enemy is coming down with Bayonets.
I think it was quite common for soldiers to look away when firing a musket because it was so inaccurate they didn't bother aiming, especially at point-blank range like this?
@@REALdavidmiscarriage y’all have 1212 already all we got is a mod that adds a few more units and improves gameplay a bit, unless an empire 2 mod releases with shogun 2 graphics and gameplay I need a real empire 2
Can you imagine the sound of that volly? You ear crumb broken… All the smoke in your face burning your eyes. I wonder if the game takes that into account.
In real life they would usually try to avoid this. Often the charging side would stop short to fire their own volley, which would mess up the line of the enemy company and prevent them from returning a co-ordinated volley. The more usual method though was to never charge a company that was still coherent enough to fire in volleys. Although some British regiments did almost make it a policy never to waste the King’s Ammunition on a Frenchman, and charge into melee combat at the first opportunity, they did usually at least wait for the French to fire first so they could get a clean charge in.
@@InceyWincey Yes, that's the correct tactic right there. Walk up to the enemy until you see the white in their eyes to deliver your own volley, following with the charge. The effect of an accurate volley combined with a devastating charge would break the enemy morale shortly, especially against poorly trained infantry.
Those were some brave lobsterbasks, followed through like highlangers!!! Glad the Continental's held and got off that volley otherwise they may have scattered like militia.
Yep, end up drooping it in rage after msny crashes and unrensponsive units that just stare the enemy, after that i didnt even wanted play Napoleón even tho i heard is good, but anyways , at least shogun 2 was really good and gave me the experience i wanted.

That is actually quite a smart thing to do historically for the British. As the enemy will aim high, the gunpowder smoke will blow up on their faces and blind them at the moment the enemy is coming down with Bayonets.
The more usual practice is to load your muskets, fix your bayonets, charge to a dozen or so yards away, fire your own volley, then finish charging.
Also it takes a certain type of person to not just run away when people run at you with pointy sticks. Most aren’t that person.
