Anti-tank gun tower not AI working

[GavinMcStine]

The AI needs some work for the cannon/anti tank tower. Just watched a match where 7 R35 tanks with a range of 3 moved up to and killed one of my anti-tank guns range 6 without it firing. It just kept changing its target without firing a single shot. In the same match a single howitzer range 5 rolled up to a cannon tower range 6. The howitzer fired reloaded and fired again with the cannon tower not even turning in the direction of the howitzer.

remember replays aren't accurate. It could be in the real battle the AT gun was shooting at rifleman or something.

Only tanks and cannons were deployed and I only killed 1 tank and 1 cannon. So your telling me that he didn't get 5 stars and I killed all his troops?

No he doesn't mean that.. but be carefull when watching replays, they are nowhere real...

Anyway, I think he is kind of right... howitzers usually have the ability to outrange towers easily when they shouldn't... Same goes for the british archers...

for towers, they can shoot in both directions, so the "range" is actually half. But for cannons and archers they shoot in 1 direction. Well thats my best explanation for how it works (though i don't agree of course). Thats why catapults with 10 range are the only towers that can hit british archers with a range of 5. And sometimes regular archers with range 4 can sometimes hit towers (range 7 = 3.5) without towers shooting at them.

LOL, I love this game

The only issue is that a cannon mounted on top of a tower will have greater range then a cannon that's on the ground.

The attacker didnt drop one of those Brandenburg gate tactics did he? They confuse defenses like a politician on meth

 

[Ravenlord]

Maybe it's a detection range - like on radar but they can't lock on just yet .....

 

[Ravenlord]

The BG tactic disables defender producing buildings - garrisons, stables, .....

this is genius ... not.
what the hell are they doing with descriptions... this is insanely misleading.
