True 100 times cooler. Britain adopted the use of rockets after meating Tipu too.

Boney lasted a lot longer than Tipu and even forced the Brits to make peace in 1804. The French and English armies also used rockets, but these were nowhere near as reliable as conventional cannon and muskets
 
 
Wellington always said Assaye was a much tougher battles for him than Waterloo.
 
 
 
I think battle of assaye was part of Anglo maratha wars not the Anglo mysorean wars. Wellington considered marathas a better army than the French.
 
As far as Anglo mysorean war is concerned wellington was once deafeated during the battle of Sultanpet tope during the 4th anglo mysorean war by Tipu's prime minister.
