That's a broken game mechanic that already somewhat ruined the musket fire in older games, when the games makes musket formations reform and refill their ranks it should put only men who have finished reloading into the rank that fires next but it doesn't, so the whole first rank has to wait for "new guy" to reload before they can fire.

That is a good point and something else that needs to be worked out I can see.

Who doesn’t take fire and I get a little tired of them always reforming and not shooting as it is.

Didn’t the Sergeants just shout to close up and the men kept fighting? Why loose a battle just so your ranks have perfect dress?
