FOTS Fire by Rank

Please add fire by rank to matchlock monks (Ikko Ikki & Uesugi)

pls update my ninja thanks

please update

I know nothing about warfare at that time (I am willing to learn), but I think the most reasonable way to act would be using fire by rank against stationary troops and point-blank kneel fire against charging troops (specially cavalry). I would like if there's a way to reduce the range of kneel fire (if necessary) and make the AI prefer it over fire by rank against charging melee trops.
I also read somewhere in wikipedia that kneel fire where usually made in ranks of three (insteat of two), and the british at some period started to kneel fire in ranks of two so the first line soldier would'nt be required to knee (which does'nt seems to make any sense), but i think that would be better for another mod so players would be able to choose which ones they want.

I still think this mod Total War Fall of the Samurai is a must allong side IGdood's bayonets mod.

I want to add a change to my last comment:

The ashigaru in shogun 2 are so slow at reloading that they simply dont benefit from reloading their 2 first rows to fire.They dont make it in time! Also their accuracy contributes to that when their fisrt 2 rows finally get their guns reloaded, which as I stated before is a little bit 2 late, then the second volley doesn't go of completely. Tried it on the samurai and kneelfire was immediatly much more effective than fire by rank!

Fire by rank seems to be more accurate than kneelfire. I tried adding kneelfire to shogun 2 ashigaru and tried em out on katana samurai on max unit cap but the result was dissapointing. The fire by rank abbility seemed slighlty better. the fire by rank has much better accuracy than the rapid kneelfire ability and on my third volly i routed the samurai with fire by rank, however I lost 20 men before they rooted on kneelfire.

STATISTICS:
kneelfire: 160-108-54 lost 20 men and then samuria broke -> faster killing speed at start gives advatnage over missile troops

fire by rank: 160-118-73-34 lost no men and enemy broke -> better against charges

make a mod that adds modern foot units please for fots i like to cheat but no tanks tho.

can you help me find a way to get more player money for fots?10000 per turn would help.Im trying to make an democracy but its too hard as is.Iv already beat game so out for fun.

fire by rank can't beat kneel fire, tested in game

Btw the steam workshop version is a downgrade form the regular version you can find on the internet.
