Turrets Weapons are a new type of heavy ship armament that would be available for Frigates, Galleons, and Ship-of-the-Lines. They are a special type of weapons as they can rotate a full 360 degrees. and can fire from any angle. When you arm your cannons while sailing, a line of fire from your turret weapon will begin to follow your cursor, similar to when you take manual control of a cannon. Currently there a four concepts for turret weapons.
Giant Cannon: Fires a giant cannon ball or a volley of grapeshot over a large range. Deals devastating damage to ships that are unfortunate enough to be in its crosshairs.
Gatling Gun: A rotary cannon that fires a constant stream of musket balls at enemies and ships. It tears its way through the crews of ships and leaves sails in shreds.
Harpoon Balista: Launches a harpoon that impales the flesh of sea monsters. It deals less damage to ships but more damage to sea monsters.
Greek Fire: Fires a stream of flaming fluid at ships, engulfing them in flames.
The game doesn’t take place in the bronze age, it takes place in 1854.
Gatling Guns where invented in 1861 during the American Civil War. So it’s not that far fetched.
these are awesome! I can only imagine the ungodly amount of damage the giant cannon can do to a ship if it comes with its own version of exploding cannonballs
