Realistic Accuracy Mod
Do you feel like missile units in Warhammer are way too overpowered? Or do you like to use other mods that lengthen the melee battle duration but feel like this causes missile units to be out of balance? If so, then this mod is for you.
Originally intended for Longer Battle Mod users, this mod adjusts the accuracy of certain projectile weapons so that they are targeting the formation of troops, rather than the individual troops themselves.
Projectile non-tower non-artillery weapons that were adjusted:
Arrows
Javelins
Slings
Bullets
Bolts (including magic bolts from Pink/Blue Horror units)
The goal is not to make ranged units useless, rather it is to adjust accuracy "just enough" to make them less of a precision weapon, and more area effect weapon, to be more believable to the specific weapon type. This mod lessens the "fire hose" effect of missile units and puts light missile units into a supporting role, rather than being able to fill out your army with total saturating precision-fire death. Now missile units will have their fire spread out more around the target unit, rather than being able to put projectiles right into the enemy soldier’s eye sockets. It also makes friendly fire a real possibility when the target is in melee with friendly units, creating a dilemma on whether and how missile units should be used to support friendly troops in melee, so be careful when using missile units around friendly melees (or be like Edward Longshanks, if you like).
Additionally, the rate of fire (ROF) of these weapons have been slightly decreased to be more realistic as well (they take a little longer to reload).
Keep in mind also that accuracy and ROF improves with unit experience. Units with no XP (level 1) are fresh recruits, and their accuracy and ROF are the worst, while elite units will have much greater accuracy (accuracy scales up with each XP level). Additionally, any Lord or technology effects that increase accuracy of missile units are now actually useful.
In other words, as ranged units gain experience, they will become more like the accuracy they originally have in the game – with the default accuracy being the goal, not the norm.
This mod…
✅Is save game compatible
✅Is compatible with all DLC
✅Works in multiplayer campaigns (as long as your friends also have it activated)
✅Should work with almost any other mod, unless that mod also adjusts projectiles and missiles (if in doubt, put this mod on the bottom of the loading order)
✅Can be turned off and on whenever you want
This mod goes particularly well with longer battle type mods, such as my own here:
(This mod is intentionally kept separate from the other mods so as to maintain maximum compatibility and to allow maximum customization of your experience)…
