They're using repeater rifles, and are weak due to a supposed bug which is fixed here , assigning them the correct weapon with 30 dmg rather than 18 (and not the repeater bullets, counter to my claim of using the same stats for the same weapons actually, so maybe not a bug afterall?).

The shotgun is indeed missing, and as a side note perhaps lower his range realistically to actual melee range, like 30m?

Very cool idea and implementation as stated earlier, thanks.

I mean hell, if you wanted a vanilla example, the vanilla War Wagons themselves supposedly carry 6 Handgunners wielding handguns, but if you look at their numbers and their database entries, the wagon handgunners use different weapons and projectiles and are slightly stronger. If they were to use the same as the handgunner's weapons/projectiles they'd be even worse than they currently are.

Because not only are the vanilla stats extremely weak (vanilla war wagons are amongst the worst units in the game), there is no vanilla shotgun unit in the empire. Additionally, it lets me fine tune the performance of the unit on the battlefield so that it is actually a useful, fun unit to use instead just looking cool.

I did not make this unit to be a side-grade, it is a blatant straight upgrade meant to make the original war wagon obsolete because it was so terrible.

There is no reason one needs to stick with same stats just because the weapon they use are theoretically/lore-wise the same as some other unit. I've used a number of unit mods that do this those units are often cool but impractical because they have no balanced the weapon they use around the unit's form factor or usage.

Thank you.

Why did you implement new projectile value stats though instead of using the existing vanilla stats? after all they're using the same weapons as vanilla, not new ones.
