Everytime I see a low level player flying galleon I want have that superpower of punching people in the face through internet connection.
I hate galleons. They are truly embodiment of 'MURRICAN spirit: big guns, enormous fat piece of shit. The inertia of this ship is just fucking unbearable, to stop in place in order to fire weapons steadily one must go full backward and moonshine for a second, and then reduce it to stop. It's bloody annoying, especially that I'm used to mix bravado charges with careful positioning, and just the inertia of this ludicrous fuckload of shit makes it almost impossible to pull it off, or retreat behind cover, because when you try to cover behind building in Paritan galleon's ass emerge against your will from the other side of the building. #trueStory
You truly need to want to know and like the ideal a ship expresses, to drive it well, slow and bulky is something for some people, while glass cannons are for others, while racing airships are for other more.
Just, if you want maneuverability, don't take the galleon. Schwalbe, from what I read of you in the forum, you like mines, maneuverability and speed, the galleon is just the opposite of you,
As much as I hate mankind, I rely
VERY much on my ally to fly the galleon, I give him cover, he protects my blindspots, I disable, he kills.
Moreover, when both my bottom-deck engineer and my gunner have a good aim, hearing both hwachas firing at the same time, with also the left side gatling, is just truly a beautiful sound.I also never balance the continuous movement of the galleon, I just roll with it and keep slowly moving, and never stop.
And I have your same reaction when I see new player driving the Goldfish, imo, the newbies capable of driving well a Goldfish are a rare breed.
