No Deck Gun damage with RFB 1.4

AVGWarhawk · 01-09-08, 04:24 PM

Oh, I agree with you. The cannon gets castrated. It is too the point with me if it is not a sampan or junk, why bother. In all reality and this is if you are attempting to make it as real as possible, the cannon was not utilized all that much other than on sampan and junks. Occasionally the larger ship would get a taste. I did find myself just surfacing after missing with my torpedoes just a bit to often and using the cannon. I guess it is all in how you want to play. Overall, RFB is pretty good and I will take the weak cannon for all the other good qualities with the mod. Also, there is much work going on with the mod behind the curtain so stick with it. More to come

Yeah, it's a small flaw in an otherwise spot-on mod!!
I'm also looking forward to future improvements!!!

Bring-em-on!!!

Hi,

Recently there was a discussion about the deck gun effectivness (or rather about a total lack of it), which you may find interesting:

You. need. proof. for. this. to. change.

We've gone over this issue a thousand times in the past. Deck gun effectiveness in RFB is not going to change, or if it does, it will not be anything drastic.

No, it won't...It'll just inspire me to tweak the shells a tad to slightly improve the damage...that way I might actually be able to sink a junk or sampan...instead of wasting all the deck gun and AA gun ammo on it and then ramming it to death...
