As a solo slooper, I am always my crew's best cannoneer.

"Just turn east, I'm sure the enemy will just sail into our broad for me"

Just a slight correction to what you said at 2:20. A cannonball hit will always open a tier 2 hole by default, any subsequent hit at an unrepaired tier 2 hole will result in a tier 3. The point being that cannonballs won't open tier 1 holes, those are due to other factors (bonks, fire etc). Other than that 👍

People jokin' about "just face east," but the underlying concept is valid. Waves in SoT originate roughly NW and travel roughly SE - always. This means that if you're sailing N, W, or NW, you're going to get a lot of interference from the waves because you're fighting against them. Whereas if you're sailing S, E, or SE, you're going to be mostly moving with the waves. And if you go NE(ish) or SW(ish), you'll be traveling along the waves (and therefore you'd actually probably get the least interference going either of those directions). Since you and your opponent are most likely to be circling each other, this means that if one of you is going NE and the other is going SW, you're on pretty even footing. But if one of you is going NW and the other is going SE, the boat heading SE will have a significant advantage on both cannons and helm because they're getting much less interference from the waves. So although your helm may not always be able to "just face east," most throwdowns on the waves have at least a couple of choices for how to engage. Generally, if one of the options is "position so that we're sailing North or West as we shoot them," you can know that option is bad; and if one of the options is "position so that we're sailing South or East as we shoot them," you know that option is good.

Helmsman here praying that my cannoneer doesn’t find this video or he’ll constantly yell at me to turn east

Really appreciate the video Lots of stuff I was really surprised I didn't know, concise and to the point

The most important tip is to download cannon aimbot

This was a very well put together video, thank you for the tips!

We love your channel! If you're a fan of high-seas adventures, you should definitely try the Corsairs Legacy free story demo. It's got that Sea of Thieves vibe you'll enjoy!

ahhh awesome ... thank you so much .. that helps me

Cool tips. Mind doing a quick guide about Boarding enemies? More than usually trying to engage as a 2-man Sloop we find ourselves that the enemy wont even try to cannon us, they just straight try to sneak up on us

Seems good tips thanks.

I've been using triumphant cannons for years but I find the frostbite work fine too

I came for the tips, I stayed for the memes :D top notch!

The rings on the cannon barrel also work like a reticle

the killer whale cannons are THE best cannons for pros and newbies, it's like the default cannons but with a TINY ironsight

In all honestly the blooming cannon flare is the best in my opinion

what about how high i should aim? my balls always fly right at a really good spot on the enemies ship but fall just short cause i didnt aim high enough and then if i aim higher it goes over? or is this just because i wasnt facing east?

I was under the belief - unless this has recently changed - 1 balls do not damage ship hull, and regular cannonballs do minimum of tier 2 hole, only chain shots can create tier 1 holes. Otherwise good video for cannon tips

I'm usually the boarder or the bucket boy, depending on if I'm on a sloop/brig or a galleon

Mmm, dense tips, yummy. That was some good content.

I have a question about repairing. So if I will hit same repaired spot will it break the plank and make hole bigger, or just replace with other hole?

What was the cannon you used with the chain at the end and where do you get it? At 2:47

as a bilge rat, i am the jack of all trades when my helmsman is good enough to dodge enemy fire

2:41 *proceeds to stay on the brigs broadside during the spin* 🫡

This was helpful and funny because of all the memes

The enemy keep knocking me off the cannon so I told my crew that I will fix the ship instead but I kept the ship alive

But how do you know what the right angle is?

Any tips for aim improvement?

According to my friends I’m the best Helmman aboard but I suck at the cannons

man i need to learn how to edit this guy funny got a couple laughs out of me

What cannons do you use?

spring blossom cannon flare on top

this got reccomended after i wasted all 100 cannonballs in an hg game bruh

Imagine your worst case scenarios. Now have a plan for them, and apply such worst case scenarios to your enemy.

I feel like it takes alot more trust to helm

funny and educating? thats the best way to get anyone to listen

🐵👍🏻 very nice video

never knew the waves always followed the same direction or that chain shots did extra damage to wheels in addition to masts, huh

Your videos rock dude 🫡

Ship in space, help

Just make your character look like Usopp

we need how to aim the chainshots its so pain in the butt

I like you

Give them things to do instead of shooting back at you

I'm the best at canons and helm

Funny how none of this matters because people just board your ship to fight

lol

One thing i find so freaking stupid in this game is shooting yourself out of a canon😐 like thats such a dumb option i wish they would remove it those scenario you talk about never happen someone always shoot themself to get on the ship instead of having a real pirate fight ship to ship

i'm sorry but this guide sucks. it's basically "don't miss," tell helm to go east (haha), and try to one-ball people.

there is actually 0 information in this video, completely useless

1:19 is it a thing? someone test it?
