They adjusted the weapons and it is possible for guns to hit the range now...but its very borderline. No room for error. If you drift slightly, you don't get credit. Then doing it 25x...such a steaming load of bs.
Completely agreed. I've been trying for that achievements with Spire/Galleons for a while now and, even
with skilled Gunners, it's basically impossible.
Artemis has a max range of 1330m. Heavy Flak has a range of 1400m. Hades has a range of 1400m, but no one can reliably hit at that range. The only guns that can reliably kill at a greater range without running into huge issues from enemy movement and/or your own ship drifting are the Lumberjack + Mercury, which is a slow and unreliable kill at best.
And then, inevitably, a gunner misses a shot. Or an ally gets the kill. It's ridiculous.
