GAME INFORMATION

^{These details are CRITICAL; DO NOT skip them or your issue may not be reviewed.}

• GAME BUILD #: 127161
• GAME PLATFORM: Steam
• OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11

ISSUE EXPERIENCED

^{DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.}
When the Janissary (non-Elite version) shoots, the bullet appears to come out of the Janissary’s weapon, as expected.
But when the Elite Janissary and Royal Janissary shoot, it looks like as if they shot with their feet. It’s even more noticeable due to the trail effect that was added a while ago.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

^{How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!}

• 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

REPRODUCTION STEPS

^{List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!}

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Place Janissary, Elite Janissary and Royal Janissary in the Scenario Editor, and some enemy units they can shoot at.
2. Test the scenario and let the Janissaries attack.
3. Take a close look at the bullets and their trail.

EXPECTED RESULT

^{What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?}
The bullet should appear at a higher position, which is the case for the non-Elite Janissary.

IMAGE

^{ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.}

Elite and Royal Janissary shooting, something looks wrong.

Looks better with non-Elite Janissary.

^{Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file service.}

I also noticed that for the hero janissary, Mustafa Pasha, the projectile is spawned at the proper position. But for the Elite and Royal Janissary, it isn’t.
