I have been watching video like phuzzybond and i also have been practicing my canon aim while moving on not active forts but the problem is when i fight a ship my aim becomes so bad and miss everything. I know that waves and rotating ship affect the aim have been applying all of this on not active forts but during ship vs ship battle i miss all my ship and sunk. So I would like some tips or guidelines to aim better
Need help using canon
@bryant-siew There is only one tip that will come in handy: practice. Observe the game's physics and the way cannonballs obey to those laws in order to get a better perspective.
practice is definitely the right idea, it's almost entirely muscle memory and you'll notice yourself get much better with time. depending on how close you are to the inactive fort when practicing you could be reducing waves. waves are significantly reduced near islands so you're practicing in different conditions than you'll be fighting in. try to aim at stuff while sailing at a reasonable speed away from islands.
one tip that may not be in most cannon videos is that waves are always the worst when you are sailing northwest. if you get the choice try to take a broadside when they're going northwest and you are not.@Bryant-siew As a general tip, if a ship is very close, aim lower than you think, and far away, aim higher than you think, everyone always overshoots close ships and undershoots distant ones, but the best thing you can do is just practice, it took me quite some time to get used to gauging where to aim on a moving ship if its faster or slower, but with time i got better, and i know anyone else can!
As a tip for the future when you get better with cannons (or if you have since the time of posting) blunder bombs arnt just your ally in ship defense, if you down some ones mast, it helps keep them from repairing, and if you down a player, blunder bombs help prevent a res and can even kill the person who is trying to res.
