Hi!
Its not just the 20lb parrots.
All Union gun types batteries are 50% stronger than CSA to refelct the standard 6 gun per battery of the USA and the just 4 gun per battery of the CSA.
And also, the usually better materials, ammunition, powder, horses... than made the Union guns more effective than the CSA ones.
Cheers!

On the subject of artillery...it's why it's so key that you take terrrain into affect. The Union guns are vastly superior...but if you're the confederate player...you have to understand that fighting in wooded...or hilly terrain will negate that advantage.
Units don't fire past range 4 in any terrain other than clear/fair I don't think.
If you've got the Union player attacking your army in the hills...woods....forrest....swamp. Those big guns count for next-to-nothing other than their higher off and def fire values.
Always cancel out range by using good defensive terrain to your advantage. It's what Lee and Bragg were able to do historically...look at the map and you'll see that most of Central Tennessee and Northern Virginia are strewn with hilly, wooded terrain.
I've tried tustling with a Union corps in the open before...it's not pretty once they get the big guns. Terrain is key.
