New patch?

[Harleyquin12]

Continuing my Mori Hard campaign, I think I've pinpointed the exact problems I'm facing which were not an issue prior to the March patch:

1. All-samurai army led by any general against Christian rebels (Field/siege battle, attack/defence) will not have a pre-battle speech prior to army deployment, in contrast my Daimyo leading a samurai-majority army with 2 yari ashigaru, 2 bow ashigaru and 2 wako raiders does play a pre-battle speech when sieging a Shimazu castle.
2. Mori Nanban ship cannons can sink enemy ships PROVIDED said ships had red hull strength and almost no crew remaining prior to the battle. The cannons have no way of sinking enemy ships if the starting opponent's ships were undamaged at the start of the battle. I'm not sure if the presence of the Nihon Maru and its Inspire Fleet ability made the difference for the cannons.

If anything in this forum is kind enough to verify whether or not they're experiencing the same issues, please reply. Also, how do I contact Creative Assembly regarding the above issues in the hopes of getting them fixed in whatever patch is coming up in the pipeline?
