Out of range duck shot, like 4x the actual range...

It seems that way, although they bounced really far when they weren't aiming on land as well.

Is this intended? as Tester5555 said it gives them 4 times their actual range, and it just makes the enemy spam ducks which is not fun. I tried to do the same thing but it was very difficult since the water is so shallow on this map. This tactic won them this game, and also another game:

Nice bug abuse.

You'd think that it would be hard to hit units using this tactic, but really it's not. Since the enemy was mass producing ducks, it didn't matter whether they were hitting or not, some of them were always guaranteed to hit, and it just made a massive minefield that I couldn't send my troops into or they would die before they got in range.

Even units that are supposed to easily counter ducks did not work, I had an army of buoys, archers, ducks, and scallops, and they got absolutely wrecked. Even if you got a Lance to help you, half the time the ducks would out range the lance, which is really just not fun. I tried using Limpets and Lobsters, by then it was too late, and it just wasn't effective enough. We even tried to do the same tactic vs. them (because that was the only option) and we failed, because 95% of the time our ducks just shot missiles and not torpedos, because the sea is very shallow in the middle.

Also, either @Skender has used this tactic many times, or it stuck with him very quickly, or something suspiscious is going on, because it is very difficult to successfully fire torpedos on this map (because it's so shallow) while maneuvering your guys back and forth and firing all the time (while moving).

Is this just claymore artillery again?

Should probably make an actual thread so GoogleFrog sees it.
