It's range is 500m and the grapshot have 500 pellets, covering an area of 60m.ħ) This is an odd weapon, which is held like a handgun, it can 3 pellets and used widely in the Imjin war.Ĩ) This is a poison bomb, one string is used to gain momentum (think of someone using a slinger) and to fling at hte enermy and one is to light to ignite. For example, In a single year 1537 Ming have produced 3800 of this cannon. The con6) is the slower reload rate.Ħ) Ming light cannon which is used specifically to shoot grapeshots. It is 3 meters long and it was said that not even the portable shield can withstand these guns. The advantage is rapid fire but the disadvantage is that it is heavy and dangerous to use.ĥ) Ming Tripod Gun, this gun was said to be extremely strong. CAn be used to burn down city gates or troops. They are fired by using percussion cap or using a string lighted by fire.īoth guns above would be used in formation, therfore this would mean they would produce rapid fire.Ĥ) As seen in AUH, this was also used up to the Qing. It was said the Japanese didnt face them frontally when these were employed. This was used extensively in the Imjin war. Imagine a gattling gun but hand held and turned.Ģ) This also comes in 5,6,7,10 or even 18 Barrels. One person aims and one person turn the barrel and use the metal hammer to hit the cap in order to fire. 2 men would operate this, it comes in the varients fo 5,6 or 7 barrels. I am not sure how the mechanics of the game works, i was thinking with regards to the 3 barrel gunners, can you make the shoot like the ribult, but limit the fire salvo to 3?ġ) and 3) an invention of Qi JiGuang fighting the mongols.
The disadvantage is that it will be more likely to be affect by wind and more expensive to make than musket balls.Īs with how the rocket launchers were held, the pictures i saw looks like a man hugging the rocket launcher. This was because the the fins on the rocket stabilized the flight. The handheld rocket launchers comes in many different forms, in 1500s onwards the Ming issued rockets to the soldiers in mass numbers (it was said the northern armies near beijing have 5 rockets per men), the reasons was that rockets can be used in a lot of battle fields, and contrary to popular beliefs, rockets are actually more accurate than cannons and bullets at the time. The fire lancers did come in the form of a dragon's head, but barrel on top of a wooden pole was also used. Nonetheless, the fire lancers above is very good piece of work indeed. You are more than welcome, i was trying to find some pages of needham's book on the internet but the info is very limited. I'm not sure how to increase the number of rockets fired by a Rocket Launcher, though I can give the Ming more Rocket Launchers than the Mongols to compensate for this.
Try increasing the movement of the 'named character' and 'general' as the movement of an 'admiral' is based on their maximum movement.Īs always thanks for the information History. I'm not an American so I'm not too sure about the location of American rivers. I've been helping out TWC Spam get their mod working and they let me use their dragon shaped rocket launcher in my mod, which I feel makes the Fire Lancers look much better. I've updated the number of rockets the Rocket Cavalry have to reflect this. I didn't realise that the hand held rocket launchers contained so many rockets. Li Rusong fired rockets (using those pictured below) continuously at the japanese, this gave the ming and the koreans the victory over the japanese.As always thanks for the information History. The deployment of these weapons were employed at the siege of Pyongyang, were Gen. I found some pictures of rocket launchers:ġ) This is the chinese equivalent of the rocket launcher during the ming dynasty, this can fire over 100 rockets instead of 32 as seen in MTW.Ģ) The 2 hand held rocket launcher, the second pic carries 30 rockets, the heavy one is called the bee nest and carries 32 rockets, and heavier one called rampaging jaguars carries 40 rockets.
