Spires Hull hitbox?

[Crafeksterty]

Wow.... If that is true then, i am in complete dissagreement on hitboxes here. On all ships then.

Doesnt it make the excessive hitbox placement less CPU friendly and such?

Nevermind. I never knew about.


I always thought that the hitboxes were obviouse for gameplay reasons, and even for realism reasons this way is more unrealistic. Oh well. Deal with it?

Smollet, I shot down Galleon bloons by aiming for that metal. Often.

[Captain Smollett]

Carronade and lumberjack will still both hit balloon if you aim at the metal.  What weapon/ammo combination were you using?

[Sprayer]

Hellhound/Heavy
I can tell you as often as you ask me, but you probably still won't believe me until you try for yourself, so please, do so.

That dangley bit of metal on the spire is very important for gunners to gauge if the ship is turning or not.

Hmmm, I've had different experiences when gunning though I know  you gun a lot more than I do.  Not sure I can convince a bunch of people to sit in a private match to test this, maybe we can summon a developer to answer this mystery.

You don't need a private match to test it. Just pop a galleons bloon once while gunning on a blenderfish, then pop it again when it comes up. Knowing where the highest point of the bloon hitbox is is one really handy thing when carronade gunning.

"To summon a developer one must recite the following phrase... 'NERF GATLING BUFF MORTAR' .
But beware of what you summon mortal. The dreaded awkm will take everything you hold dear.
Then he'll give it back. And then he'll take it away. And give it ba.. you get where this is going.
Alternatively you may use the phrase 'WHEN IS BOARDING COMING'. "

A quick private match using harpoons can test all this. If the harpoon sticks, it is hull, if it doesn't, its balloon.
