I try to do a manual reload/broadside fire on an enemy ship, and pretty much 80% of the cannons miss. Is there a range that I've got to figure out? I imagine manually firing, although fun, is not going to work in battles that are any larger than the "small scale" fights I'm going through in the opening campaign. I'm just trying to figure out the basic mechanics of the naval battles here before I move on to the broader fleet tactics....
