If the waves that can bounce the ship can angle you in such a way you can't actually aim at a ship near you but make you an easier target, it doesn't seem unreasonable to make it so the cannons on ships are a bit more elevated so they can aim downwards. Often times you miss a shot or many because waves suddenly jerk your ship up or are blocking your view. While blocking your view is not fixable, being able to adjust your aim to account for the high waves should be.
Cannons should be able to aim downward
@thedrakyle I get the frustration but I don't think extra flexibility is the answer. You need to either time it with waves, or switch to scattershot which have a more curved trajectory and will flop into ships even when you're on high waves.
With how slow cannons are to move and aim, swinging them down would be quite the disadvantage, a bit like correcting after a peaceball.
@thedrakyle said in Cannons should be able to aim downward:

You need to learn to counter that issue and time your shots with how the waves are moving. Don't forget the boat you are fighting is probably copping the same on their end.
Being able to point cannons down more is a terrible idea. It's not meant to be easy.
@captdirtyoar depends if you're doing orbital or parallel. Generally during orbital or spiralling another ship they are a lot lower when you are on a high wave. If you were both being bounced up it would cancel out and the aiming wouldn't be an issue.
So true.
Half the time the waves rock my boat up, but rock the other boat down so they have the advantage.
Most annoying thing in the history of sea of thieves.
