kolloth Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Just a minor quibble really. When i'm in gun firing mode you can see the reload status of all guns that can be fired from that position. However you lose the ability to see the reload status of all other guns. Sometimes this is ok, like when your in a line of battle and only have enemies to one side, but at other times it's more of a melee situation and it would be nice to know how close the other broadside is to being ready without needing to leave firing mode. What could be done is for the gun states to remain as they are in non-firing mode but with the current fire-able guns highlighted so you can still identify which guns you are currently controlling. make sense?

admin Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 We did it for decluttering purposes. By the time you get a frigate you will learn to remember which guns reloaded. + you have whistle signal that tells you the deck reloaded. But lets discuss.

kolloth Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 It's more a matter of precision. If i'm close in i like to try to steer a course where i can get a nice raking broadside as i pass. This means altering course/sails to time it so the reload is complete before i pass by. that in turn means switching around gun views to check aim points and reload times. if you see what i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 +1 to that and when in gun mode remove pieces of sails that randomly appear on Lynx and block the view when firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balsafer Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Maybe add another circle for other side to show reload like we have for the types of modes (sail,gunnery,survival) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your team mates would like you looking up from time to time as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
