tacking, sails, turning against wind etc...

Several players on the chat have asked about TACKING.

Perhaps it is time to raise that issue again.

here is a forum thread that could be helpful: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/862-tacking-sequence/page-2?hl=tacking

first a few videos that helps new players.

First this one. (A bit old but the principle is almost the same) https://www.dropbox....4p4/Edit #1.mp4
 

And then this Naval Action video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MR87oRNOsg

by tomorrow I should have something uploaded that explains how to use yard control to improve turning, and how to tack a Surprise. I'm far from an expert, I'm still learning, but I think the video explains it well .

Post it here for all to see, RAMJB. Great!

Guys, also check this video, divide contingently it by four quarters, I hope it will be easier for you to help yourself turning on manual sails as this video shows turning without touching the rudder

well, as promised...

The bots do use repairs but they tend to spam them as soon as they are hit. You will notice you hit them and they repair that initial damage.

Great video RAMJB. I haven't unlocked my first square rigger yet but, I'm having lot of fun with the Lynx and the Cutter so far. Once I do I hopefully won't be running into too many islands thanks to your turning tips.
