Hochland Long Rifles!
The Hochland long rifle, also known as Leon Todmeister’s Fantabulously Far-reaching Harquebus of Unforeseeable and Unperceived Bereavement is an experimental weapon designed by the Engineer Leon Todmeister.
The Hochland long rifle was developed from the long rifles used by the hunters of Hochland. These weapons use barrels which have been rifled or grooved, which makes the lead shot spin in flight, in turn making the weapons highly accurate and giving them a range unsurpassed by most other handguns (with an effective range that is half-again longer than the standard handgun). On the battlefield it is often used by marksmen as a sniper rifle, where it is particularly effective at neutralising specific targets from afar.
This mod adds Hochland Riflemen for the Empire faction as well as their unique RoR variant.
Notable stats:
- Very high range and burst AP damage;
- Apply "discouraged" on missile hit (nobody likes being shot by snipers);
- Double the reload time and half of the unit size of Handgunners;
- Campaign and custom battle cap: 3.
Unique Regiment of Renown: Brichtoff’s Marksmen
- Overall superiour stats compared to regular riflemen;
- Added anti-large bonus;
- Vanguard deployment;
- Campaign and custom battle cap: 1.
The units are balanced for vanilla. Should fit SFO balance fine, however if there are still some big balance issues, tell me what’s wrong and I will upload SFO submod.
Known issues:
— But their rifles aren’t actually long!!!
Sadly, nothing I can do about it. If someone knows how to scale equipment separatelly from the whole unit model, I will fix it in no time.
Feel free to provide suggestions and report bugs/issues.
