Is it Just me or are Ship Battles.... | Forums

Is it just me or do ship battles suck, I mean I can take down the little scrub ships but whenever it comes to a good fight you have to do to much, steer and pick which side of cannons your using at the same time + slowing down or speeding up, Then aiming....like wtf, and most of the time when your fighting a higher lvl ship there's multiple little ones around them and you lose sight of them in gunpowder smoke and cant tell what ship your aiming at....I dunno feedback anyone?

I was a bit taken aback by the smoke clouds too when I made the jump from PS3 to PS4. It is occasionally hard to pick out which ship you're aiming at through the smoke, but I've gotten used to it. Plus, if you're decently upgraded, it doesn't even matter anyway, you can wreck man o' war's with like two mortar shots and a broadside.

Yeah the smoke was annoying, destroying 3 galleons ain't hard your ship becomes overpowered when you upgrade it.
About the mortars, I find it too, weak.

Eh? The elite ones can disable a frigate in two shots.

I see, it's almost the last thing I upgrade, I'm too basic I just go and shoot broadside and heavy shots. I always forget about the mortars despite it's the best way to catch a ship from afar.

Wait, you have to actually work to win battles at sea? Preposterous!

Thanks guys im hearing a lot of when you upgrade the ship its a lot easier, I have a few upgrades but iam pretty much at the start of the game so I got a long way to go. I do love the game though I just hate the missions with the ship battles cause I suck at them haha.

it gets easier, especially as you at least upgrade the ship armor. if you are worrying about getting disoriented in the fog of smoke, try picking out the one big ship to worry about from a distance, use the Spyglass, and put an X(button PS3) mark on it....you'll alwayd have the marker blip on screen until you are done with it.
