Have u ever wondered how to dodge cannons fire in your ship? Even if you do the blocade menuever a ship randomly spawns near you and starts firing? That will make everyone mad when you have some royal chests. Well here is the complete guide.
Sloop: Cannon fire dodging is very easy in any type of sloop, they have narrow short bodies and are fast and menueverable. First if the ship firing at you is in front of you try to turn so that your back or your front is aimed directly at it. This will give them less space to aim correctly. Second if the ship is right beside you floor it! Use ramming speed or full sail to get out of there quick. Third if you are facing a frigate with front cannons do an S menuever while backing up. Do full reverse and go side to side. Almost no cannon fire will hit you.
Galleon: Any type of galleon is very hard to dodge in even when you have ramming speed. First if the ship is in front of you and firing aim your front or back to them and do full reverse. NEVER TURN YOUR SIDE TO THEM! YOUR SHIP IS TOO EASY TO HIT! Second if the ship is right beside you there is not much you can do. I would either use ramming speed, do full reverse, but the best way to do it is do hard starbord or port rudder and use full sail and circle around it. Third if you are facing a frigate backing up wont do you much good. Have your cannoniers go in the back cannon(or side if you have light galleon) turn with your side facing them and use ramming speed.
Frigate: Frigates are hard to dodge in but not as hard as galleons. If the ship is in front of you and shooting back up and let your bow cannons get it. A "S" turn would help you dodge about anything. If the ship is beside you do full reverse and hard port or starbord rudder(Depending on which side the enemy is) to get behind them then go forward while following the enemy as your bow cannons bring it down. Third if you are surronded with 3 or 4 ships there is a menuever that frigates are very good at. Turn to the biggest opening have your back and side canons ready go forward dont use full sail or ramming speed use come about turn port and starbord in 1 second intervals. Then use full sail or ramming speed. This should dodge 80% of the cannon fire.
Sloop: Following instructions 80% dodging chance off all cannon fire
Galleon: Following instructions 60% chance of dodging all cannnon fire
Frigate: 70% chance of dodging all cannon fire
