"Precision" can be very important in a tough combat. Remember, not everyone is in a winning position every time. I once had to take a city, fortified with infantry, but only had riflemen. Cannon made the operation successful. No number of riflemen could have taken that position. As it was, my men suffered great losses.
The "killer phalanx" does not exist for those with bombard capability.
