Tips to Be Your Crew's BEST Cannoneer In Sea of Thieves

As a solo slooper, I am always my crew's best cannoneer.

"Just turn east, I'm sure the enemy will just sail into our broad for me"

Just a slight correction to what you said at 2:20. A cannonball hit will always open a tier 2 hole by default, any subsequent hit at an unrepaired tier 2 hole will result in a tier 3. The point being that cannonballs won't open tier 1 holes, those are due to other factors (bonks, fire etc). Other than that 👍

People jokin' about "just face east," but the underlying concept is valid. Waves in SoT originate roughly NW and travel roughly SE - always. This means that if you're sailing N, W, or NW, you're going to get a lot of interference from the waves because you're fighting against them. Whereas if you're sailing S, E, or SE, you're going to be mostly moving with the waves. And if you go NE(ish) or SW(ish), you'll be traveling along the waves (and therefore you'd actually probably get the least interference going either of those directions). Since you and your opponent are most likely to be circling each other, this means that if one of you is going NE and the other is going SW, you're on pretty even footing. But if one of you is going NW and the other is going SE, the boat heading SE will have a significant advantage on both cannons and helm because they're getting much less interference from the waves. So although your helm may not always be able to "just face east," most throwdowns on the waves have at least a couple of choices for how to engage. Generally, if one of the options is "position so that we're sailing North or West as we shoot them," you can know that option is bad; and if one of the options is "position so that we're sailing South or East as we shoot them," you know that option is good.

Helmsman here praying that my cannoneer doesn’t find this video or he’ll constantly yell at me to turn east

The most important tip is to download cannon aimbot

Really appreciate the video Lots of stuff I was really surprised I didn't know, concise and to the point

This was a very well put together video, thank you for the tips!

I came for the tips, I stayed for the memes :D top notch!

We love your channel! If you're a fan of high-seas adventures, you should definitely try the Corsairs Legacy free story demo. It's got that Sea of Thieves vibe you'll enjoy!

Cool tips. Mind doing a quick guide about Boarding enemies? More than usually trying to engage as a 2-man Sloop we find ourselves that the enemy wont even try to cannon us, they just straight try to sneak up on us

ahhh awesome ... thank you so much .. that helps me

if u boarded and ur defending top deck throw blunder bombs at the stairs to stop them from bailing water and remember that this also works through the floor so on the sloop u can use their supply of bombs to keep them downstairs

I've been using triumphant cannons for years but I find the frostbite work fine too

Seems good tips thanks.

The rings on the cannon barrel also work like a reticle

the killer whale cannons are THE best cannons for pros and newbies, it's like the default cannons but with a TINY ironsight

In all honestly the blooming cannon flare is the best in my opinion

as a bilge rat, i am the jack of all trades when my helmsman is good enough to dodge enemy fire

I have a question about repairing. So if I will hit same repaired spot will it break the plank and make hole bigger, or just replace with other hole?
