Tried hourglass for the first time last night... an epic battle lasting for almost 30mins, but in the end we prevailed!! (And ive gotta give some credit to your helmsman guide, i was able to keep constant pressure on the other crew through great positioning and savvy shooting)... it ended with both ships drained of resources, turning for direct boarding attacks until the "Lonesome roze" sank to davy Jones locker, leaving a flag for us to sell... Cheers for the tips
that mast and wheel juggling moment at 10:42 is an interesting optimisation problem. i think due to the nature of the mast falling being quadratic with time, it's best to grab the mast as soon as it falls. 🤓
Yeah, nah wheel juggling is definitely necessary. Changing the rate that you turn is important you may need to turn fast to regain angle and then lessen turn so you don't over turn. Sure you can make the wheel turn rate a constant but you won't get angle back as fast, keeping angle consistent for your helm is huge. Quadratic 😂 you mean the time it takes to pick up the mast increases the longer you let it fall. Never heard someone describe it as quadratic, but that does make sense, lol
