Yes, the further out you go begin to get overlap, and the farther out the more overlap there is. However, the union of the two arcs remains small and poorly placed. To allow for a hit you have to aim at where the enemy is going to BE THEN, not where he is now. And guess what happens when you turn the nose to make that happen?? YOu loose sight of the bandit under the nose of your own craft. Nor can the cannon be moved forward without blocking the nose gear.

That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
