HamsterIV:
Your ships momentum is transferred to your bullets if you want your gunners shots to go where they aim them, have as little perpendicular movement to the bullet's path as possible.
This means line the target for your forward guns with the bowsprit, and come to a full stop when using the side guns.
A good gunner can compensate for lateral bullet trajectories. Be aware of your gunner's skill when flying.

And be aware how little idea the gunner may have of the movements of the ship he's on. He will be compensating the sights relative to the target and may not notice bearing changes of is own ship. This is particularly true with long-range guns like the Mercury.

This so much. You can't really use your crosshairs to aim on a side gun when you're moving so fast, I simply cannot snipe components off of a side Mercury on a full speed Squid. Either park it or quit bitching about me not hitting their engines.

- Never park a squid in the open.

If you're at mercury range and you're wanting to snipe either it parks or I'm going to miss three out of four shots. I don't 360 noscope.
