That's what they did in Battlestations Pacific. There was no volley fire, so it would take ages to cycles through all your barrels since they all fired one-by-one independently, including the secondaries. To demonstrate: While this would makes ships more interesting to look at since there is no downtime between shots, you'd also deal less damage through this method since it has to be pulsed out slowly, and it's rather hard to ambush another ship with the whole fireworks display. Plus, you'll be bombarded with a lot more sound-effects if you have all the guns go off one by one. Edited August 6, 2016 by Sventex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's possible since Battlestations stuck the UI for the guns on the targeting retical, but this game puts it on the bottom of the screen, and having 6 turret UI already takes up a decent amount of space on the screen.
