Close the gun ports

[Michael Corvinus]

I am not sure how much work would be involved in the modelling of the ships, but why must they sail with the gun ports open all the time?

Ships didn't sail around with them open or they would get swamped.

What can they not be closed on OW and open in Battle?

 

It is the only negative aesthetic thing that I see in this game. 

The  ships look good, but this kinds of spoil them a bit, like an unfinished picture hung on a wall.

we asked the same question at the beginning of the game and also that the guns jump back when fired and more smoke (which would make it more realistic).

the answer was then, that this is to much for the Gamers CPU and that there is no need to implement that.

But we got the seagulls instead of .....

well ..now there is unity 5 

maybe it can be implemented

but it as been asked for over 50 years already ,sooo

if it is to much for the cpu make it an option in settings ...

 for those who can use it 

and for those who can not

To go from open to closed gun ports, another ship model has to be designed. One might think the model is already there so it's easy to just draw closed ports, but in reality it's a little bit more work than that.

I am sure that once the major game mechanics are "fixed", they will have time to work on that, especially with the new engine. Also, I am hoping they will work on skins/paints that people can earn or even buy. In every game I've played, skin customization is very popular with players.
