Total War: SHOGUN 2 1vs1: Donderbuss Cavalry vs Tokugawa Mounted Gunners

Total War: SHOGUN 2 1vs1: Donderbuss Cavalry vs Tokugawa Mounted Gunners Clan: Otomo vs Tokugawa Battle Difficulty: normal Player: Donderbuss Cavalry Donderbuss Cavalry are very short-ranged firearm cavalry.
They make up for their poor range with devastating firepower.
Should they manage to position themselves and fire without taking too many casualties a single volley can maul or even outright rout many unit types.
Donderbuss cavalry need to be micromanaged closely to maximize their potential.
Their short range means that anti-cavalry troops can close the distance quickly.
In addition their devastating firepower can cause deadly friendly fire if left unattended.
Donderbuss cavalry have decent attack and charge values though they suffer from very poor defense.
Firing a volley and then charging the weakened and shaken target can be a valid tactic though donderbuss cavalry suffer badly in prolonged melee fighting.
Like other matchlock units donderbuss cavalry shine in defensive sieges.
They can dismount to man the walls as infantry where their weakness of short range is remedied by the close quarter nature of most siege fighting.
Their donderbuss weaponry can be used to maximum effect by firing downward into crowds of soldiers and they can quickly rout most troops attempting to climb the walls in short order.
Their higher than average armor means that they can also withstand enemy archer fire relatively well for some time.
Toward the end of successfully fought defensive battles they can then remount their horses to chase down routing foes. Tokugawa Mounted Gunners are cavalry armed with matchlocks.
This gives them a more powerful ranged attack than bow cavalry.
However they are less useful in hilly terrain as they need clear lines of sight to hit their targets.
Their melee statistics are poor compared to melee cavalry too so they operate best when firing at a healthy distance from their targets and only charging routing or wavering foes.
Like other matchlock units Tokugawa Mounted Gunners weapons ignore armour making them a good counter to heavily armoured units.
Unfortunately they require gunsmiths which are late-game siege buildings that require significant amounts of research.
The closest comparison to Tokugawa Mounted Gunners are Otomo Donderbuss Cavalry who have much more powerful missile attacks and better melee stats at the cost of shorter range. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ TotalWar1vs1 TotalWar Shogun2
