CWC Banning

It could be a language thing but they entered the CWC, so that shouldnt be a big issue then?

can't crucify the unconvicted though.... especially if they are not talking....

Ok, I just played a naval battle, and while running roughly parallel, being upwind, using the same ammo and having identical ships (second rate, early), my ally's and my ammo were way short of our enemy, but they were sending shots completely through us. They said it was "naval tactics." After about 4 volleys like this, I quit. Is there a trick or bug here that I don't know about? Or was it old fashioned cheating? I don't play that much naval so I honestly don't know.

A 2nd Rate’s range is 500 and accuracy is 60.

Upgrades probably influence the accuracy a few points, but not the range I would think.

Just tested firing in strong wind assist, and saw nothing. But my testing was very limited.

The only way to prove alteration would be with replay where you can stop the motion and make measurements.

Hopefully this will all go away with the next fix

Thx for the info. It was a 2 ship max so we had max upgrades on ours. Our shots were well short and their shots were going through our sails and beyond. Don't know how many meter it was. And according to my ally, they were cursing ME when I left.

It sounds pretty conclusive that you had some cheaters there.

But it comes to mind that there is possibility that what you were seeing was the difference between round shot and chain shot.

Round shot is fired at the ships hull level, and the chain shot, at the sails.

The range should be the same, but the trajectory arc might give the chain a distance advantage.

We will have to test that, but in any case the chain shot has more immediately visible results at a distance, and that is for sure.
