Aiming bar with double shot

[Farrago]

Does the aiming bar when using double shot reflect the additional range of your cannons or do you need to use a little "Kentucky windage"?

You mean double charge??

Double shot doesn't increase range. In any case as far as I know the 'aiming bar' merely shows the gun elevation; you have to make your own adjustments for fall.

In fact double shot makes your rang go to hell, basically turns your guns into Carros at close range.   Though I would say with any gun and shot you need to adjust for speed and distance only as wind doesn't effect any shot in game as far as I know.

What "aiming bar"?  that little red line that shows gun elevation?  Every shot you need to factor in "kentucky Trajectory" ("windage" is aiming left or right to factor in cross wind or target movement).  Slower shots, and non long guns just have much lower speeds and drop more as range increases.

Thanks. Yes, I was talking about the little red line and I know you do have factor in those things on every shot. We're not using scopes and firing lasers. LOL

So your answer is that the aiming bar does not change its position in relation to the target when double charge is used so you have to make a different calculation than you would if aiming with single charge loaded?

Yes, I meant double charge. I knew what I meant, just not what I was saying. Thanks to all who answered.
