Firing Types
There are three basic types of firing. Volley fire is the most commonly used fire type and it is the fire type that you should use unless specified otherwise. This firing type fires a full broadside, meaning every cannon fires at once. Volley fire is used by hitting the F key. Volley Fire is meant for use against enemy ships.
 * 1) Volley Fire
 * 2) Quick Fire
 * 3) Ripple Fire

Quick Fire is probably the least common of the three fire types. Quick fire will fire a very quick ripple fire from either the left or the right. Quick fire is used by hitting either Z or C. Quick Fire is meant for use against enemy ships.

Ripple Fire is the odd one out of the three as it isn't meant for use against sea targets. Ripple fire fires one cannon at a time from either the right or the left depending on the button you press. Ripple fire is meant for use in land bombardment as it allows for more lead downrange.
