Arvenski Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Less cool, once you noticed how faked it is. I mean, sure, they'd probably risk damaging the ship if they actually tried to fire one of those cannons (nevermind a whole side of them), I get that. But smoke launchers clamped on the ends of the cannon barrels combined with more launchers out of sight in the dock framework (to make the smoke cloud thicker) seems a little cheesy, if you ask me. Plus, the smoke coming from the launchers in the dock framework is unrealistic and isn't simulating anything; it's just there to make things look cooler. Plus, they didn't even bother with the lowest gun deck. eh/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of them are either wooden or fiberglass non-firing reproductions (a few are still real). So, given all of that, this is pretty darn cool. The whole broadside was for effect, so there's no reason they shouldn't add smoke to simulate the lower guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyrattus Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I live only a few miles from the Victory, I will visit her again in the next few weeks and get a few videos for you all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Pellew Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 I get the fact that it is fake, but it really shows an experience for what it could have been like in the era. Didn't mean to offend anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
