I say it would drastically improve the usefulness of walls if they were bulletproof. Also, it makes cannons a lot more necesarry.

Or, it may be that units can shoot through that particular type of wall, but not the big stone walls we've seen in other screenshots.

Might be a one way wall... the defenders can shoot out but the attackers can't shoot in? just a thought =)

no i doubt it will be "fixed". IMO it doesn't need to be fixed because its not "broken". It's like when archers shot through walls in AoM. And they didn't shoot over it they shot through it because if you put an archer really close to the wall he could still shoot at the enemy THROUGH the wall. If the wall becomes solid in terms of bullets and arrows then that will really stop protecting your walls with archers, you would be able to attack without going through the safetly of your gates and attack in which case the initial purpose of the wall is gone in terms of protecting your units. I hope it doesn't get "fixed".

true its not a great plus for realism but is it inevitable, its better than putting holes in ur own wall and really a bullet wouldn't go through walls. It also beats a bullet changing course :P

I hope they improve this it wouldn't be cool to have musketiers on one side of the wall shoting the musketiers on the other side of the wall.
Mortars would be very good in situations like these for both sides.

imo they should not be able to shoot through walls, it's just unrealistic and it looks stupid when units are looking at their target wich they can't even see. Remember in other screenshots where units could walk on the walls, then it would be logical if they could fire to the outside (or inside) and the other units on the ground would be able to shoot at them. Archers shooting 'through' walls is ok, because you could think that they shoot over the wall, arrows don't fly in a straight line like bullets do.

maybye automatic loop holes, if the gate is locked the soldiers when ordered to attack automaticaly go to a loop hole or climb on the parapet to fire over the wall.
