Sir Robert Calder Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It's terrible, everyone learns to never use it, and only serves to mess up one of your broadsides because you momentarily forgot to tap your hotkey more than once. I'd genuinely want to see someone suggest a reason why it should be in the game at this point. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I was under the impression if you use random chain shot fire on a trader's sails you'll get more hits compared with front or back fire mode. But maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldberg Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Oh god yes, please remove this!It is the most useless fire mode, more often than not selected at the most opportune moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Random fire do nothing at the moment as far as I know.We have random fire before we have row front and back And like Admin said, we need to find the good use of it by ourselves , I cant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 random fire is useful when you need to hit someone at least with one shot and sometimes during bow and stern shots when you are not sure which direction enemy will turn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldberg Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) random fire is useful when you need to hit someone at least with one shot and sometimes during bow and stern shots when you are not sure which direction enemy will turn I know that you have logged thousands of hours in-game, so you are as much as a player as any one of us. Tell me, how many times have you accidentally had random fire selected when you didn't need it? How many times have you actually used random fire in comparison to front/back? My guess is, that like most of us, you do not use it in comparison anywhere near as much as front/back. From my experience, even with a SOL's with more than 50 guns a side, your broadside fires quicker than the enemy can turn.

kumisz Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It feels like random fire mode fires the broadside faster, because the rolling broadside always has to wait for the gun before to fire, while in random, they fire as fast as they can. I don't use it a lot, but I don't see why it should be removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) random fire is useful when you need to hit someone at least with one shot and sometimes during bow and stern shots when you are not sure which direction enemy will turn i would rather shot one at a time than waste my broadside and I think I can predict my enemies move pretty good as well xD But: if we can improve it by having a setup in option. Row front, back, and random. You tick on front and back, you will have only front and back in battle Edited March 29, 2016 by Nash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleJP Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Random fire should fire hell of a lot quicker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnesBL0278 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Replace random fire with full broadside. Same purpose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vjrs01 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I agree with random fire approximating to 'full broadside'. Don't get rid of it, please. As a suggestion (I have offered the idea of a higher effectiveness for the first broadside in any combat — because it is loaded with care and with less hurry — before), but a useful addition to the game would be an element of gunners' crew improvement with time. This could be reflected as a more closely coordinated full broadside or as a slightly higher destructive value to the broadside. It could (should?) be subject to penalty if the ship is lost or its crew is killed, but once again it should improve with crew experience in combat.

elite92 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 yes replace it with full broadside ! i like the idea to fire all my cannons almost all at once to hit a target in less time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrottleFox Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Leave it in, but change the button! V swaps rolling front back only and have some key to change it between rolling or random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuroNyra Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Do not remove Random Fire, multiple time I had the pleasant surprise of doing MUCH more damage with it than with rolling front and rolling back in side to side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptEdwardKenway Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I will test it and use it. I don't want to have it removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porpoise Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I think the random fire takes less time to fire, but maybe it is just a feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcomies Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I would suggest making random mode fire the entire broadside in shorter time than the other modes. I have honestly never used it (not counting couple occasions where i left it on accidentally and wasted a broadside) and never seen any use or need for it as it is.
