Enable leaks visibility on enemy ship

[elite92]

as title i would like to see on the hud enemy leaks on their ships.

i mean i can see how many cannons are ready, why cant i see how many leaks are in their hull?

just like i can see mine one.

let me know what do u guys think about it

You can see this by them listing or sinking already really as well as looking at where the holes in the enemy ship are...

I agree with the mod. You can see if the boat has leaks via listing and how high it is sitting in the water. Being able to see how many leaks the enemy has takes away from immersion and isn't realistic.

I like incomplete information about the enemies status because it introduces a psychological element to the game when battles come down to the wire.

You can see the cannons because

When a cannon is fired is going backward

Into the ship and when is ready is half

outside. which unfortunately this graphic

animation we dont have atm on game

Iremeber seeing that in potbs

I think devs said something about it a while ago, that it kills fps so much that we will never have stable fps in big battle. But I hope we will see it someday in the future

You dont have to "see" the leaks, to know that they have leaks. Take note at the whistle that your "signaler" sounds out, for "survival mode". That same whistle will be heard from the enemy ship. I use this as an opportunity to get in close, because it is going to raise their reload time. I will have time to nail them again, without them being able to get a shot off. 

Hopefully the Dev's will be able to optimize the engine later, enough to see water being pumped out. 

(Off topic: But I would also love to see a ship break in half from repeated shots in one spot..maybe later..lol)

Ship attitude and whistles. They are a huge clue.

 

How many leaks !? Who has time for that, keep pounding them until they submit.
