sacapus Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I was just engaged with a Belle Poule with my Surprise, got all her mast broken, I was closing in for the cap and suddenly, the bad boy decided to turn at 0 speed and start nailing me down with balls ?! I had to switch my guns to balls, nailed him with grape than borad it, it sunk while I was engaged in boarding, he only had 35 crews left. lol All that hard work wasted... Why is the 0 kt rule don't apply to NPC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacapus Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Pretty strong sailers, they managed to turn their boat to get their cannons at the right angle at all time, doesn't matter where I moved/turned lol... They probably have a "Row Motion" module Anyway, now that I know this, I'll be more careful in the futur and plan my boarding accordingly. Hey, I finally got my first Belle Poule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quineloe Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Manual cannons! Shoot cannons at the front on the port side, shoot cannons in the back starboard side -> ship turns to starboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
