Add cannons rolling back after firing animation

[Jack Freedom]

It would be nice if the cannons would roll back with the blast and only move forward when they were loaded

[Prater]

They have this.  It caused too much lag.  I agree that it should be an option though.

Best thing about PotBs

Also, the man pushing the cannon has been bothering me. At least with lager guns running them out was done by pulling on ropes.

some day this graphical option could be added for powerful computers: to provide for recoil animations for 7000 cannons + smoke etc in a large 50 santisima's vs santisimas battle you need a very high end gpu/cpu.

Perhaps it could be added for the players ship only? Or the animation is only played for ships within something like 100m?

its an excellent feature if you see it on enemy ship. you see that he is reloaded and pushing cannons out ready to fire. beautiful and very expensive performance wise. 

that is why we show enemy ports on the enemy screen  - compromise to at least show you that he reloaded and ready to shoot.

how do you see that the enemy reloaded? The gun ports are always open and the guns are always in the same fixed position.........

you look in the right upper corner of the screen

it shows ports

and ready to shoot cannons - if the number is 0 they are being reloaded. so you can adjust your tactics.

Sounds fine to me. Hopefully by the time this game is available for sale again, I'll have a pretty powerful PC to play it on, as well.
