Gameplay / Re: GOI Mythbrakers vidéos
« on: June 05, 2013, 05:08:06 pm »Some thing I would like to see are each weapon's maximum turn arcs from the helm. Experience has taught me just how far a front facing gat and flack can reach, and what part of the ship's superstructure it lines up when viewed from the helm.
This would be very us full for ships that rely on pointing the front and side weapons at a target for maximum effectiveness. (Pyra, squid, and junker)
I can do that. "captains complete guid to gun arcs while flying"
a very easy way to check on your own is go into the sandbox and hit f7 while aim on the guns to mark the max ark. Then jump on the helm and look at the markers.

Hey everyone! I am going to be making Guns of Icarus Mythbrakers videos on youtube.
In these weekly videos we will find out the secrets of Icarus's world loosely using the scientific method.
Each week I will pick a subject or question from this thread and do a very in depth study into it.
A good examples of a subject would be:
Which is better, Gat/Flak or Gat/Mortar?
Moonshine or kerosene?
Even more essential to you competitive players will be the PATCH SPECIALS episodes where we find out what exactly has changed and how that might effect you.
Here is an unpolished video on the simplest video I could think of to start. what gun kills fastest? (minus a few guns)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESe-gdBWuJ4&feature=share&list=UUQuR0B-HhVm-YhxqNwuyCtg
So ask your questions or tell me what you want to see in the videos here!
If you would like to help with in game footage or data collecting let me know.

Gameplay / Re: Where is a "Ramming guide"?
« on: June 03, 2013, 12:24:36 pm »
My notes are based on gat/flak Pyra with moonshine and phoenix claw. (i have tried the rest. this is the best)
How to ram:
Moonshine durring impact. This will keep your ship facing straight. Moonshine should be used in bursts, not left on.
Use moonshine to aim. Turn fast using phoenix clam until you arm aimed at the target then hit moonshine to lock on.
Aim well. If you miss your ram you are useless to your team for a long time while turning around.
Get as much gat shots in as you can before the ram.
PRACTICE! Good ramming is the hardest thing to master as a pilot.
When to ram:
Don't
If you must ram do it when:
it's a spire.
When you can pin the enemy to a wall. This doubles their impact damage and can kill any full health ship.
Ramming a galleon WILL NOT HURT it. You can turn the galleon's guns away from you but it's easy to screw up.
intercept enemies who are about to kill your friend.
Other use for ramming:
Ram walls with phoenix claw on to turn around fast. be ready to hit moonshine when you are aiming the way you want during the spin.
The best thing to know about ramming is when NOT to use it. Just keep your gat flak going

It's been almost a month sense I posted this semi rant. I have delved deeper into the gat/flak stratagem and now instead of just pointing the gat/flak at an enemy and expecting a kill (like I wrote before), I coach my gunners (if they can hear me or care).
The captain is the coach of the team, you have to learn every inch of the game and get creative too.
Just by talking to my gunners more, and in a very nice way, my ship efficiency in pub matches has gone way up.
