ok quand je vous dit que les fans anglo-saxons sont des chauvins francophobes regardez donc cette chtite interview que j'ai trouvé http://blogs.sega.com/totalwar/2008/10/20/empire-total-war-faq-6/ et particulièrement ce passage(hereusement que les dev eux ne sont pas chauvins, j'aime bien comment il casse le questionneur dans la reponse):
Will there be a “fire by rank” system for troops in line formation, e.g. British redcoats? And will you be taking into account that some armies may have better skills than others in some areas e.g. British troops could fire and reload their muskets faster then the French could?
The short answer to all that is yes but with some reservations. It will depend on a nation’s research into tactics, the units deployed, their experience, what system is used and how good they are compared to their opponents. The British were not always the best at everything. If they had been they would have beaten the Americans in the War of Independence, Wellington would not have needed the support of Blucher at Waterloo and he would not have said it was “a close run thing”.
