Any questions?
((Maybe I know way to little about this, but is seems to me that turning on your side to face the enemy from is not the most efficient way to fire cannons, and is also very dangerous. First, because you will not be able to fire all of your cannons into their ship, just one or two. Second, because the front of the ship is the best defended part of the ship. For one thing, it is the opposite of flat, so the cannon-ball will simply slide off. It's like hitting a plate mail in the chest (absolutely pointless).
And thirdly, because the other ship will then ram you into the side, and totally mess you up.))
1.You can hit them with all of your cannons on that side. The cannons can only fire if you have your side lined up, but if you do they can all fire and hit the same place or fire and hit anything thats possible to hit from that position. They have some degree of aim.
2.The prow is the best defended exterior part, yes. But why not fire on their cockpit instead? It's in line with the front of the ship, just further back.
3.Angles aren't taken into account. For simplicity sake.
4.It's an example of a possible movement maneuver, not a recommendation of tactics.
If we fired our cannons now, couldn't we hit the enemy as they pass by?
Technically, you could have. But there was no one down with the cannons, ready to fire them as the ship passed. Movement in this is so far a bit screwy, it happens AFTER the turn's actions. However, when it comes to cannons and passing shots, we're gonna fudge it a bit and say that if you have someone down with the cannons, on the right side, ready to fire, then they'll get their shot.

Get to the closest machine gun and strafe the enemy deck, whilst rapping at a high speed.
You can't. The machine guns won't turn that far. Theres a part under the turn that says that and has diagrams as to why it can't.
Fill it with fuel, load it into a cannon.
Why? The explosive shells already create fire. All you'd be doing is the equivalent of replacing one explosive with another.
