I use Bonecrusher cannons all the time now, ever since I unlocked them. Their aim is pretty solid, on top of their visual appeal. If I'm not using Bonecrusher I'm using Sea Dog.

@johnhp1 depends on what skin the whole ship has...
I don't care what form they have...first time I use them, I go all the way down, so I know how to aim...and I'm pretty good with the cannons btw

i also prefer the cannons that dont have the flared end. i either use the default or hunters call cannon skin.

It really just comes down to getting used to the different variants. Along with the flared out tips, some cannons are actually longer or shorter in length than others as well.

Adjusting to different cannon skins can throw you off, but after a few shots you should be able to easily adjust.

glorious sea dog. working on those 2k hits. Otherwise I use killer whale

Magpie Wing and the Elemental Power cause the go with my aesthetic lol...

Silver Blade cannons, Killer Instincts cannons, sometimes the Banjo cannons.

Usually depends on the hull I'm feeling and what would match

using the PL cannons for 500 skelly ship kills.
it kinda have a tip, so it can be used for aiming, but really dont care for the bonecrusher an other to visuel changing

Some cannon skins are easier to "aim" than others (i.e. a better visibility). But this is pretty personal and also a matter of just getting used to a certain skin.

No skin in the game actually conveys any extra abilities. But certain skins do have some small advantages. Take the sails with holes in the them. There have been a few times where I spotted a rock or a "boarder" through one of those holes. It doesn't happen often. But "tattered" sails are better than regular sails. It's not a huge difference.... but it's there.

I just use the default cannons, I especially don't like any of the new style of cannons with the flared ends.
I'd like to see a customisation option for all cannons where you can choose a flared or non-flared variant.
