Functionality:
The Gunner’s Quadrant helps players accurately predict the trajectory of their cannonballs and mortars, taking into account factors like wind speed and direction, target distance, and the ship’s movement.
By adjusting the dials and sights on the quadrant, players can fine-tune their aim and ensure their shots hit their intended targets.
The Gunner’s Quadrant can be used for both direct and indirect firing. For direct firing, players sight the target directly and adjust the quadrant accordingly. For indirect firing, players use the quadrant to calculate the firing solution based on the target’s position and other factors.
