Best case scenario is when you pull the enemy in a direction you want. Kiting has the advantage that you shoot the enemy from a closer range than he shoots you. Some ships also have more guns in the stern direction. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So u don't show broadsides to enemies, since u already turned and u are angled. U keep throttling your speed to throw off incoming fire. I like this tactic alot. It's very flexible, and it keeps u from being a stationary target. I actually used this on Izumo when grinding her, quite a few times. That let me have 9 barrels on the enemy while I had most of my secondaries pointed towards anyone coming to close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
