Has anyone else noticed that any round shot fired from a fixed Mortar (may happen from other mortars as well, but I noticed it far more with the fixed position Mortars) behaves like a bouncy rubber ball when it hits the ground?
There I was, last chapter of the Americas campaign, invading England with my brand spanking new army of elite foot and eight fixed position mortar batteries. I hit Dublin, and after a few volleys of carcass shot didnt' really do too much, I decided to switch to round shot and see what happened...
Well, after my mighty volleys of cannonballs rained down from the sky they *bounced* on impact like crazy. Not just small amounts, but 'hit the ground and bounce 300yards in a random direction'. Hell, one of my artillery fired to almost the limit of the Mortar range (700yards), the ball hit the ground and bounced straight back into my own lines, destroying one of the other mortars.
Anyone else noticed this utter absurdity??
