SirAlatriste Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 We should stop the ship even more quicker using the anchor. Not in OW but in battle at least. Imagine the sound... The anchor impacting with the water... And more crew interactions similar like this, would make this game more unic. Continue the great work developers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus MacDuff Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 That's very unrealistic. The anchor is not a brake and if the water was actually shallow enough for it to grip the bottom (highly unlikely), it would cause serious damage to the ship. Plus you would lose your anchor.

SirAlatriste Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Use it as a brake is a risk, not a unrealistic thing. But can be implemented. Is just a suggestion... like make the crew sing santhies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAlatriste Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) That's why i did the post, thanks for the video. For sure the ship crashed some woods. But they home again. Edited June 14, 2018 by SirAlatriste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that thin ring thing attaching the anchor to the rope looks real strong to, wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was in color and on the TV so it must be true.......... I think they also did something similar in Black Sails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus MacDuff Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Devs aren't going to consider such a ludicrous suggestion. They have a realistic appreciation of the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) How an Anchor mechanics could be implemented - Drop anchor will stop much faster when compared to T, anchor will drag and slow you down to stationary and turn your ship based on left/right side drop and rudder positioning. Recovery time - 1 minute. This means you can't sail away even with the raised sails and you are a sitting duck until anchor is fully recovered. You can sit on anchor and rotate 360 to the left or 360 to the right using only sails. Edited June 14, 2018 by Wind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, if you're going more than 2 or 3 knots, anchor and cable will be torn out of your ship. But not before the cable destroys the forward part of your ship and kills a bunch of your crew. Unless its a Disney movie...or you'd drag it... And you cant rotate on an anchor 360 degrees. If you put a spring on it, you can rotate a few degrees.

Sand and broken shells will do the trick my friend. On the other hand, if you hit the reef then you are right.

Anchor will drag and slow you down much faster when compared to T command. It could be similar to brace command with recovery time.
