cannon knock back.

[Mighty_Mo]

hey again everyone there was a different subject than the previous one I did about the accessorys for the ship...

this topic I wanna suggest about the cannons knock back what's obviously missing in the gameplay because as we know in real live thecannons recoil is massive when its fired that its knock back inside the ship for the next reload.

that is something I'm missing while playing the game as well.

leave a comment here of what you all think of this suggestion:)

Bevor the Game was EA recoil was in-game but it let the fps drop in a massive way in big scale battles. Feel free to do the math and calculate it for  all broadside guns of 50 santis shooting at the same time😉

If I remember correctly we might get it back as graphic option for high high end machines.

The engine has changed so it might not be as bad now. Plus there could be an option to switch it on and off

Might even be a good feature if there would be the option to activate full crew + recoil on your own ship and/or on all ships.

But looking at all the screenshot most people play on really low settings so I would rate its on a very low dev prio

Gun Shadows, Gun recoil all system heavy. Thing is some people have decent machines to run it all. It should be added as an option.

A lot of the visuals your posting about have been raised time and time again. Use the search function on the forum to find the discussions regarding graphics, ship accessory's and paints etc.

Having guns being recoiled as non-optional could allow to remove indication of number of reloaded guns of your enemy - you could have to guess it by gun positions on enemy vessel.

It's a pitty we probably can't have this due to performance issues.

While I'm sure rolling the guns would be graphically intensive, what about just switching to a different model (gun withdrawn, port closed while reloading) as each gun fires. The change would not be very noticeable in the smoke and flash, and would still be more immersive than the recoilless guns we have now.

This is probably all stuff they will do for eye candy once they get around to optimization....  Right now, my PC works noticeably harder playing NA than PUBG.....

Just a note: The port lids would not close between reloading otherwise the you would not be able to use the ramrod. They would open at "beat to quarters" and stay that way for the duration of the battle. But you have a point: a re-coiling gun could hardly be as system intensive as each gun's muzzle flash and smoke. Smoke is notoriously resource intensive.

Good point, so that actually means it would be even less graphically intensive because only the cannons would have to change, the hull and ports would stay open.

Yes. I would suggest that the ship's default state be gun-ports open and the guns run out: battle stations as it were. And during battle, therefor only in battle instances, only the guns re-coiling and running out once loaded be added to the animation sequence. Far less intensive than the smoke and cannon ball tracking of each cannon ball in the air. Therefor gun-port lids never change.

i got a good computer to run that, since i got a streaming studio/mancave/bedroom no problem to run it on my side give me mah cannon knock back

...okaaaay... this suggestion is as old as NA  

But regarding gamer machine processing power...

Gimme more code that simulates wind variation rather than flashy gizmos.

Gimme  realistic outcomes of rigging during battle and in wind - blocks and lines being cut, masts unsupported from shrouds - than the eye candy sugar that is meaningless in the combat simulation.

Priorities first.

We wont most likely

a) priorities
b ) cannon recoil consumes fps even if it is off as an option. Not integrated parts of hull use more resources even if they are not animated.
