Weapons Issuing and Artillery Question

[CSX4451]

Making sure I'm doing this correctly. Within a each Infantry / Artillery unit they MUST all have the same rifle/cannon issued.....correct? You cant have a mixed match of weapons....which actually seems odd as I'd think the CSA would have a vast assortment of guns per unit.

Also, what's the ideal number of guns per Arty unit? At what point are you wasting money and manpower on have more cannons in a unit?

 

thanks!!!

Correct, there is no mixing and matching of guns within the same brigade.

Around 8-12 guns is optimal right now, due to the maximum supply being what it is. The bigger reason you see huge diminishing returns on the larger number of cannons in an individual unit is that it starts eating massive amounts of supply. It's a bit less of a concern due to supply carts being able to toggle artillery/infantry resupply, but once you start feeding supply to a 24 gun unit, the supply meter will drop like a rock.
