Nuju-

Yes I see what you mean.Lol,I have a question though...why don't all the cannons roll out in unison? As for "Evasive Action" POTCO ships are more than fast enough for that to be a major tactic because it already works in close range flanky fire.

I'm getting a shot ingame now of a POTCO ships gundeck.EDIT:It seems the guns in POTCO shoot in some pattern:[Click to Enlarge] The hatches do open for a moment since an update last year sometime as far as I can tell.

Well then, all that needs to be implemented is making the guns longer, then a Skilled Spotter could be able to see the cannons. Seems easy enough.

As for your question, is that for in game mechanics or in Reality? Cause when brought into reality, the Human Factor comes in, and not always are some lazy seamen quick enough to pull the 32lb guns into place however for POTCO I would suppose that it falls too a pattern or repetition.

I take it I must have missed the update that implemented this.
