Pirate Corsair Mechanics at HT

Few fatal misconceptions here:

1. If you didn't avoid ("Miss" being registered), all you have to do is dismount & remount for HT. If you got hit, it means you got KBed, which means (eventual) repositioning. Usually by way of recoil shot which is added ms.
2. If you dodged (not a "miss" but dodged the damage to your ship, and you tanked it on your character) and dismounted immediately, that you can remount immediately. We discussed this before you posted very briefly that the moment you dismount the ship doesn't take damage, but thats 700 ms roughly of dismount animation. But just because the animation finished doesn't mean you can remount immediately. You have that "flinch" animation that has to be finished as well. Pressing remount while you're still flinching usually leads to a delayed mounting (from what I've gathered) maybe akashsky can confirm this. I don't think the dismount & flinch animation can be done simultaneously, which usually leads to some delay. I've found it faster to start mounting after I've taken damage.
3. There's also issue of dismounting right as you're in the middle of an attack animation, which leads to the sitting bug. So if per chance you're mid-attack as the damage is about to come crashing down on you, you won't be able to dismount/remount in time anyway. So you'd tank more damage than "realistically" expected.
   • I put this here, even though you talk about boat glitches, since I'm not 100% certain you'd be able to dismount while an attack is going through. It'll either fix so that you can dismount mid-attack, or prevent you from dismounting at all when you're mid-attack.
4. You don't count the mana drains, as needing to dismount/remount for them. But they do KB, which also means (eventual) repositioning.

Some factors that weren't considered:

1. Repositioning, dismounting, mounting reduces as more parts die as well. So any number crunching based on current assumptions would only be applicable to one part of the run. It'll change based on how many parts are dead. It'll scale up towards like 2 parts left, where you pretty much just deliberately tank everything so you can reset for the next run.
2. Wing flap damage when you've been knocked to the edge of the left most edge of the right platform.

Regarding defenese:
Mob defense and player defense are calculated differently. The only listed formulas are for player defense unfortunately. I know that for player defense, the defense numbers are so insignificant. Like maybe 10 damage less. For mob defense, its definitely far more impactful (sort of unfair, but neckson what you gna do *shrug*).

 

Jump + cannon works if your repositioning to the part your cannon is shooting. If you're on the top right hand platform you reposition every 3 or 4 hits. The hits knock you to the left, meaning you have to reposition to the right. If you jump + cannon to the right, you're attacking the right so you're not getting any damage in.

You can indeed cast battleship, but I've noticed the following:

• If you input dismount+mount when not being attacked you can instantly remount
• If you do it right as you're being attacked, there is some sort of delay. You can cast it, but the actual mounting animation seems to come out a bit later.

Back to the repositioning every 3 or 4 hits. If you start from the far right, and get knocked twice, you're within wing damage range if I'm not mistaken. You can tank it and land on the smaller platform right below. But you'd have to reposition right after, usually with a recoil shot. Simply jumping up to the right platform isn't enough distance to not fall off again right after.

Oh another thing I forgot is latency issues. You have roughly 700ms dismount time that serve as your "time" to take damage. But this isn't really realistic when most people from the other side of the world have 200ms or so of ping. So you have 500ms time window to dismount frame perfectly. What usually happens is you dismount 200ms EARLIER to self-correct.
