Empire Total War does the same thing with their Puckle gun too. Except it acts like once it starts it rotates through rounds on its own and aims all over the place... kind of an ineffective weapon in the game particularly compared to other cannons and even the land based rocket regiments are more effective.

@dylanmccallister1888 You're talking about accent. Lexicon (choice of words) can be discerned by pamphlets, books with lots of narrations of the day, and most importantly letters written in their times. "Old bean" was a term that is initially recorded to be used in 1920's. It's fairly new, and already obsolete. Letters from the 1700's to 1800's describe people using formal terms of indearmant more frequently were: "My good sir" or "My good man" as was the case also in German particularly based on letters by the Mozart Family; they would narrate interactions with various people in their letters. Short and sweet they often referred to commoner others as lad and lady. Based off his own memoirs by Ben Franklin, as well as many letters from Washington and George F Handel... and you can get a handle (pun not really intended) on their accent possibly by their spelling at the time. Isaac Newton's is really interesting in his choices of spelling. English speakers of the 18th century likely sounded different than all accents that speak English today. What we do know about remarks made about accents during that time: England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland and various hamlets and regions had discernible accents. By the late 1600's early 1700's distinguishable American accents were documented. Americans and British accents were different at that time, and both basic national accents were different then than they are today. What has changed is likely more regional accents; and fewer lesser spoken accents. http://www.newtonproject.ox.ac.uk/view/texts/normalized/NATP00234 https://www.gutenberg.org/files/36338/36338-h/36338-h.htm
