Yup that is exactly the point. Sometimes they won't even change to bombard mode when you click on enemy units. I think I have some recordings even that show a group of cannons travelling with army that I then tell to attack the enemy and 3 out of 5 go into bombard mode, and the rest just sit there or change after a while and start attacking houses or w/e.
I posted this in agecommunity.com forum under bugs, but swinger just replied "as of now the artillery is working as it was designed to" - what the hell does that mean??? They designed it to not fire, not react to user commands, and target buildings while being attacked by enemy units?!
I normally do some quick shift+click for cannons to attack different units, especially culverins against falcs, and more often than not, they will kill one falc, two falcs, and then the third will die from some other unit fire so the culvs just turn to firing at buildings or stop firing all together...
