Question Did the cannons get fixed?

[ThatOneZachKid]

A few days ago, I was trying to battle enemy ships for my quest but my broadside cannons sometimes would not fire or they would fire but the cannon balls would travel like one foot then fall straight into the water. I'm sure this has been brought up plenty of times but I was just wondering if it has been fixed since the last time I played (Saturday). Besides a few bugs this game is great, I can't wait for the open beta!

No, it has not been fixed.

it only happens when your really close to the enemy ship

Why? When this happens I assumed you wanted to get closer so that it hit them.

idk, but the broadsides work at a distance but not up close

Technically speaking, ship battle requires that you be far enough away that your cannoneers would be able to "sight" the target. If you're too close, there's no way to target.

The distance that I figured really makes sure the cannon-fire hits is about the length of your ship and a half away from the enemy. This has worked 100% of the time for me.
