    We're not currently looking into any prone mechanics.

    We are, however, very much aware that it was used in combat during the war.

    Honour has died off in combat long ago man. Even at this day in age. So don't try to put some fairy tail BS into it as if you are the one's getting shot at who gives a rats ass about the guy on the other side. you don't want to die.

    Going prone in combat is a smart choice but it hampers your reload a lot! you make yourself a smaller target. its like saying moving behind a tree or fortification by your logic is a cowards thing to do. That making the artillery a bunch of Cowards. It's not true at all so plz don't bring honour and loyalty and things of that nature into a game where you shoot and respawn.

    Well it was in europe. Over here the only thing we care about is winning. Over in europe if there was some officer making some incredibly brave and heroic charge or something the enemy would probably salute him something. Over here if we saw a thing like that the commanding officer wold give all his men an order to shoot him in the balls.

    Even in Europe the officers where not that brash to just waist men around this time. like 1879 wasn't long after the civil war and that was the battle of Isandlwana. You can see the tactics they used and going prone was in use!

    Also thank you trusty!

    Can do it like the Zouaves and roll onto the back to reload.

    The question's been asked and answered, but I'll throw out that honor and the concept of manhood was absolutely still a factor during the Civil War, more so among the officers. But still there nonetheless.

    Officers... Men who stayed behind their troops. Read inspirational stories about Cesar and only wanted glory or wealth. Honor is something us as people have left behind long ago. Some peoples idea of honor gets then strapping a bomb to their chest and killing innocent civ's. So i ask you, what is your vision of honor?
