While this change does correct the "compass spinning" from panning the camera, it takes an enormous amount of "getting used to" especially if you were adept at using the old behavior. Compass is now broken for gunners; no longer a 1st person perspective, it uses the ship's bearing only...again, takes an enormous amount of "getting used to," but lost now, is the ability to aim cannon from compass during an SvS lag-bombing.
I may be the only one but I'm finding it easier to keep my bearings both sailing-wise and cannoning, especially when transitioning between the two if I'm solo.
