Ship cannon range - tactical combat ?

Hey guys,


Could someone please enlighten me as to why my ships cannons only have an effective range of 270 yards, when they are rated at 750 yards ?

It has always been the case that enemy ships can hit my ship from 800 yards away, but it is impossible to hit theirs at 300, even if i elevate the targeting reticule to max height before it disappears, they simply fall well short. Since i am using tactical combat system, the only way to hit a ship is when my reticule turns red, which only happens within a 270 yards range. (of course i can still shoot above the red point, providing they are even closer)

Some things to consider:

My cannoneer has 100 in both Cannons and Accuracy.

I have 90 Accuracy and 100 cannons.

Tested in ultra calm waters, with wind in my favor.

Using 32lb Culverins.
 
Well, it kinda depends on ammo as well. I bet you had grapeshots loaded. Try with chainshot or cannonballs, I'm pretty sure you'll have no problem with long range firing.
 
"Apostól" is wrong, it is "Apóstol".

I've made an overnight just today. Curse Murphy and his law!
