I will be watching this thread with great interest - it is something that was going to post for a while, but other issues kept me.

Basically, I have a grip with the camera sway when in sea battle. The sway somewhat follows the ship sway, but not exactly. I know it is a regular routine for FPS when the player in in a vechicle of sorts. In this game however, this presents a very annoying problem, namely the aiming of your guns.

With the new cannon aiming angle restrictions, most of the time the tagetting reticle simply disappears. This should not be the case. <b>Players view should sway precisely with the ship sway</b>. In that case, one can actually aim his view as far as the gun envelope allows, and then wait for the reticle to pass over the enemy ship and give a command to fire. In the current situation, it is playing cat-and-mouse with the reticle 90% of the time, and praying the reticle will come up when you are pointing at the enemy (for one second).

I find it frustrating, when on land in 1st person mode, the camera continually sways - unless ye been drinkin' ya grog - there doesn't seem to be a necessity for it. There should be a way (when on land - at least) to be able to turn the sway feature off.

PS. Thank you for the forum welcome Den Dee
