Selecting targets for the Deck Gun...

SteamWake · 05-07-07, 02:39 PM

Some thing I have noticed in doing this (using the binocluars).

The gun crew seems to have target fixation. If there firing on one ship they are stubborn and more or less refuse to switch targets.

Also I always get the messate "Seas to high to man deck gun" regardless of the sea state. Shortly after the message they start firing away

Another way to direct targeting is the crew automatically selects the ship that's closest. Try getting closer to the prefered target when the waves make using the binocs too difficult. While you are dong this, keep the fire at will button off to save ammo.

And since ammo is not too plentiful (and underpowered in my opinion) - be sure to flip off the (fire at will) toggle as soon as YOU think that sufficient damage has been done.

Be warned - I don't think these guys abilities "buff" like they did in sh3 - so a killer deck gun crew may not be all that possible.
