Question about the front gun.

<< < (2/2)

pandatopia:
Shrug. Honestly it doesn't matter too much in the long run, I have had captains yell at me about being on the wrong gun too, and usually it matters less than people think.

All in all though even if it is unwarranted, it doesn't help to argue with the captain or the crew. Just do as they ask and the entire thing will go more smoothly.

Esp if you're losing, don't give them ammo (hah!) to use against you, people will irrationally place blame a lot in these team games.

Find people that are more friendly!

Richard LeMoon:
If you have a shot, take it. Especially if your team is not talking or planning. And charged are the 'right' rounds for shooting at a Mobula from behind at anything less than 3/4 max range. You will hit the hull, engines, and balloon and send the engies into a panic.

The captain said so.

If they have the ability to yell at you in game they probably did send out some communication as to who will take which roll. It might have happened in a previous game before you joined or via Skype.  As for the yelling they could have been worried you would load the wrong ammo, shoot and give away their positions, or be one of those horrible players who never leaves because they are afraid some one else will use it.

It is better you find out where your position is before the battle is joined than when your crew mates are depending on you to do something you are not doing.

shaelyn:
did you guys also have a buff engineer?  heavy rounds in a buffed carronade can one-shot a balloon or are used for sniping guns.  that was probably the captain's thinking - to sneak up on them and take them out with the heavy rounds, and keep the engineer that has the heavy rounds on the gun so they can keep shooting.
and it's already been said, the carronade doesn't have much range, so approaching probably isn't the best time to hit it.

I'd also say the carronade doesn't have a long reload time, and losing the last of the clip in the gun isn't a big deal.  but giving away your ship's position if the pilot was trying to sneak up on an enemy could've been the greater reason for it (if you were approaching from behind the mobula, that's probably exactly what's going on.)

really though, if the captain were communicating with his crew more effectively, that whole situation could have been prevented.  my best matches 9 times out of 10 are ones where the captains are talking to the crew constantly or divied up roles from the start.

Cheesy Crackers:
Did you swap the already loaded ammo with your ammo? That sometimes annoys people.
