Im playing mcphersons ridge, and i have every battery i have hammering away at the union guns. i even closed the range by coming down to the river. Anyway, the union guns are doing plenty of damage to all my units, and i noticed that when they fire, an explosion comes from the horse that carries the limber and the gun.
Just making sure they arent firing twice!
Just noticed patch 1.2 changedthe objectives around...
Heres a pic
As smoke is a big FPS killer, maybe this is something that could help?

Checked this on a few scenarios, there definitely seems to be duplication of the smoke animation from the horse/limber and also the gun. Must be an FPS hit?
Sometimes the two are simultaneous,othertimes not. Unless the horses and guns got switched around between batteries in the muddle.

You must be using some kind of mod because limbers shouldn't have horses behind them like that.

A horse is a horse of course unless it's Mr. Ed and the horses you see here. I've not noticed this problem in any mod I've used. Couldn't resist making a comment.

It's gotta be a mod, but how is it running with a stock scenario?

Maybe they're related to 'Pete's Dragon'?

I have seen this before, and it only happens when the horses are stationed directly behind the unlimber artillery; I just can’t remember the settings to make this happen.
