Many thanks

[Admiral_Of_The_Fleet]

I would just like to say I do not feel comfortable in leading battles because of the high tier ship I am in, and I am not confident as being a leader as I have not quite grasped the game yet.

 

Many of you have spent a lot of your gaming time trying to teach me how to manual sail and I still find it hard to grasp and read the wind, for those that have helped me I thank you.

 

Please if you see me in game don't have a go at me I am trying my very best, just that it will take me some time.

 

A lot of people can get to grips with the techniques and some people it takes longer, I am one of those people.

 

Once again, thank you for your help..

Take ya time, I dont like to lead much either but when you are the only SoL sometimes the leader role falls on your shoulders and at times I lead my shipmates to victory and sometimes things don't work out and I get defeated.

Well, perhaps your name implies a certain level of rank... that might explain it ;-)

I'm in a similar, but smaller boat: "tries hard, but lacks natural talent" applies to me.

Cheers, mate.

Take your time, but don't ,make it harder then it is.

 

 

As far as manual sailing i know it is as simple as this:

 

Make a arrow with your sails pointing in the direction you want to turn.

 

Turn left (A) then also press (Q) and ©  Sails will look like this  <  

 

Turn right (D) then also press (E) and (Z) Sails will look like this  >

 

 

Press (F) when you are done turning and check the bottem left of the screen to see if you are really back in Automatic sailing mode.

You had a good battle tonight with me.  Thanks for coming in and covering me when I asked.  You wrestled that vic with your bellona perfectly, and then with the enemy bellona as well.
