I suggest correcting the artillery to a working one, this will correct many shortcomings, a large number of units.
I corrected artillery work in a small miniature, attached my version of the artillery work. This mode of shooting certainly does not cancel the fact that the artillery misses. But it will make artillery a more dangerous unit on the battlefield, on which one should pay attention.
I ask the developers to pay attention on this problem, with respect the fan of the series of games
this unpleasant situation unfortunately is happening not only with artillery fire or firing, currently happens with loads in different situations. when the mark of the only soldier is far from the bulk of its formation, producing loads of bad taste or useless, you now have complaint about this situation, I could have the same complaint in reverse with vampire counts, units and the freedom of firing that this situation generates
isn't it because of the way CA have internally labelled unit formations for the backend mechanics ..
ooooooooooooooo oooooooooxooooo ooooooooooooooo
x = the unit identified as the formation label o = the rest of the formation
something along the lines of 1 random entry in the formation list is chosen as the unit identifier, which is why a cav formation will chase 1 fleeing unit when the rest of them running in the opposite direction.
if u have 12 cannons ... they can only fire at x stray shots may still hit o's
Yep, models seem to be targeted as single entities and not as units. It's probably because of the coding that is less unit centered and more focusing on models (hp, attacks etc...). I'm pretty sure though that they can change it.
I live in France.... I like animes, mangas, greek/egyptian and roman culture (antiquity + mythology). I usually play Total Warhammer or Battlefleet Gothic and sometimes Vermintide. I play almost exclusively MP though 1 or 2 campaigns from time to time can't hurt .

is my understanding of how it works
Maybe they could change it so that it's like this.
ooooo3ooooooooo ooooooooo1ooooo ooo2ooooooooooo
1 = the unit identified as the formation label 2 = secondary target for second cannon 3 = tertiary target for third cannon o = the rest of the formation
With 3 random entities in the unit given different unit identifiers.
They could even scale it with unit sizes, say their are only 2 cannons on a lower size, then the units on that size would have only 2 random entities.
