Sea of Thieves PvP Tips and Tricks: Ship Combat [Basic & Advanced]

An important thing to remember is a technique modern artillery crews use (and cannons are older artillery). Fire for effect. Essentially you fire off a few shots to see where they land, adjust accordingly, then when you find your sweet spot, unload on your opponent to maximize your effectiveness before they can reposition or retaliate. On a moving ship it becomes trickier, but the same principles apply.

Also another tip: Trust your crew and trust yourself. Make a decision and try to be proactive to control a fight. You don't like a fight...reset it. Control the outcome!

Just wanted to thank everyone for the support on this video! Means a lot to see how much good it's doing and it's thanks to all of you; I appreciate you!

Great video, a reasonable 8 minutes instead of 45 like so many vids on youtube. Gets straight to the point and mentions both basic an advanced. Thought the channel had 1 million subs. Keep up the great work. With sea of thieves coming to ps5 soon. Many new players like myself are looking for vids like this.

keeping kegs on my ship to surprise others has to be some of my fondest memories of this game. good or bad boy was it always funny. Always keep kegs on ur ship :)

Was a pleasure to be a part of this

Hardy tips, Capt Jack. Keep up the good work brother.

Useful tips my dude, and a great pace of a video

I noticed I'm very late to this video but with the new pvp update this was very helpful! Thanks!

subscriber 260, youre seriously underrated, great content man

Omg now I can get good with this tutorial! Thanks Jack! 🤣 it for real nice job!

Great Video!

Good stuff man

What a nice video!!!

Only comment I have on this video: Dont make a tierlist of cursed cannonballs. Every type of cursed cannonall has its situation of usefulness. Great video!

Amazing video! I keep getting sunk because I put barrel bombs in my crows nest and they always shoot them now I'm going to try to keep them in my row boat and use the harpoon to drag it instead

I had my first pvp encounter today I took out two skeleton sloops and than I got jumped by a skeleton galloon and than another guy decided to fight me I was super low on wood and cannonballs so I rammed the other players sloop in the side and jumped on his ship and he killed me but I was able to respawn fast and keep my crippled sloop from sinking I think the skeleton galloon finished the other guy off because his loot was floating on the sea and was barely able to sink the galloon I'm pretty sure the other guy put some good holes in the skeleton galloon but I was able to collect all the loot and drag my crippled butt to port and sold it all and now I'm super close to buying my sloop ship. I did have one fire bomb left so I lit my sloop on fire and sent it off viking furnal style and log off to go to work.

Idk why, but ppl don't put it together. But fire and a venom ball. Can change a fight. Or a sleep ball with fire is good too. Grant it it's more situational. But can come in handy..

Good video basic tips but good I got a friend who is starting making tip videos like this may tell him to talk to u I'm sure he like this

here another tip..when listing the cannons balls make it so they are high enough quality to actually be read.
