    I just can't get the hang of them. I either overshoot, undershoot, or the best, hit above or below the ship I'm targeting when they're moving laterally.
    Pointers please. Cause I've put a bunch of resources in 2 of them but I'm missing my much weaker Sniper Cannon at this point.

    Short distance just lock aim shoot....long distance depends on speed and direction of boat you're aiming at! I love 'em!

    Aim everytime, with use you will not need it anymore
    after... move fast the shot (follow or imagine the boat trajectory, front it will be 1 or 2 pixel, lateral sometimes far more), and release.
    no need of zoom
    with experience you can shot a speeder moving quite often.

    The projectile is pretty fast, so you usually don't need to lead much. If the target is moving away or towards me, then I usually just shoot. If they're moving laterally and there is some distance then I'll lead them about half a ship (or a whole ship if it's a speeder).

    I find it's best only to lead left and right, the vertical usually takes care of itself. If you start leading up and down then you're more likely to launch it into nowhere or send it straight into a wave.

    That is how I've do cannon, send used to do sniper. With pretty good success.
    Point reticle at target, lock, then lead. Now that I'm closer locking can sometimes snap to a different ship. I'm going to cut back on my leading. Vertical misses are a big issue for me though. As well as shooting over waves, or pretty much anytime anything obstructs what I'm going for.
    My lone cannon, I can still hit all day.

    with time you will aim good, and don't forget it will serve you with all canon.
    I've scrapped by error my canon T2 rare when i started, well learned to aim with blast, it take a little more time than canon or sniper.

    I had an t3 rare one i finally scrapped, I missed too much with it for a 2 slot item.

    I had better luck hitting people with a faster ship, speeder, then i did on my shooter and fixer

    Well. I got knocked down to 1400 after switching to enforcer at 1600 and riding a streak to 1890.
    Cant get past the fucking mortar spam so no matter how good they are when I'm not getting spammed I'm going to have to switch back to sniper after my current training is done.
    Since I only have one I'm screwed and will have to use a standard mortar >:-(

    idk men i only wait for T5 items and mk6 ship
    and finally past the mortar spam
    probably i play 6 hours per day in the next weak and upgrade my T2 epic big shield to T4 epic big shield and the same for my blast cannon, regular cannon, epic railgun and torpedo
    the problem i have is basically i use 2 regular cannon and blast cannon torpedo and rail gun are long range weapon but very inexact and regular cannons and blast short range and sometimes mid range so i need to charge to the enemy very close and fire all weapons normally i kill one enemy shooter alone only with cannons in a few seconds but that mortar spam xD
