Do Carronade and Culverin Cannons do different damage ?

I understand that :

- Carronade takes 1800 ingots + 75 boards/logs and 70 smith, 70 carpentry skill.

- Culverin takes 900 ingots + 50 boards/logs and 65 smith, 65 carpentry skill.

Do I need to therefore think, that taking up different resources and skill levels they do different damage and are not the same (it would not make any sense, at least to me, that they cost differently both in resources and in skills needed but do the same damage....) ?

If so, what is the difference in damage or other differences there may be between a Carronade and a Culverin ?

Or perhaps their "shooting range" is different ? Or they take different time to get primed ? Or there is any other difference between them justifying the different building cost ?

@Kyronix , could you kindly give us more details on this ?

Thanks !

Not any more.  they were completely different before Rising Tides.  but now the only difference is aesthetics.  and the fact that Culverins take half the ingots to craft. I have been using one Culverin and one Carronade since test and have seen no difference.

If there is no difference between a Carronade and a Culverin, neither in the damage that they do, nor in their shooting range nor in anything else, WHY then they take different amount of resources and skills to make ?

To me, it makes no sense.

Tons of things in uo work like that. A fancy cabinet holds the same amount of items as a small crate.. If people want to use different cannon, let them use different cannon. If you want to be efficient use Culverin, but i can guarantee you'll see some people with Carronade, just because..

Actually I didnt know both cannons did the same damage. I would rather have the option to change the look of cannons via a cannon context menu, I would like more crude looking "orcish" cannons, or something that just looks like a pipe with a fuse on it. now that I know they're the same, i may switch to the Culverin, it's small looking right ?

it is because before Rising Tide, Culverins were light cannons and did half the damage of a carronade so they took half the ingots to make.  A Carronade was a heavy cannon and did twice the damage of a culverin so they took twice the ingots to make.   so when they made them do the same damage, they forgot to even out the resources to make.  this is all my assumption that is based on my testing and experience with all of the changes. I could be wrong so (sorry Mervyn)  @Kyronix, is there any difference in the two cannons other than the resources to make and aesthetics post Rising Tide?

It’s all aesthetic, the fancier the cannon the more costly the resources.

Outstanding, thank you

Well, a lot like way more the slimmer Culverin over the more massive Carronade....

So they get their fancier and better looking Culverin AND get it cheaper too ?

They? who's this they?  can you not make Culverins?  pretty sure it's in everyone's crafting menu.

I see it as this, if you don't have the ingots to make the Carronade go mine until you do.  it's not like someone cornered the market on ingots and you can't easily get them.

The question has been asked and answered.
