Broadside ai

[Tommahawk Rock]

What are some good settings for naval ai so a ship gets up close into a Broadside postion. I am trying to fine tune it myself but not getting the results wanted. If anyone has any suggestions i would be happy.
Also i find that my ship tilts to the side a lot when turning what can i do to reduce this. Also tilting to the side when staionary but the ships center of mass is in the middle

Tiltiing to the side when no tmoving is a sign that you have too much above water.
Doesn't necessarily have to do with CoM being off to one side per se. I recall one guy a year or so ago had a battleship with a nice, deep CoM that was perfectly centered. His problem was that he had masts that went up about 20m above the command cabin. Cutting them in half removed the tilt for his ship.
So I would recommend looking at aesthetics like masts that are tall compared to the rest of the ship and see if removing them does anything to help.

Tilting when turning can be countered by using internal heliblades or under-side-mounted large props set to activate when you roll.

If it banks while stationary, it's roll instability in >95% of the cases. Wider ship, lower CoM. Consider adding another two metres to its width, if that's still possible. Otherwise, pull the CoM down by building superstructure lighter (e.g. replacing metal with alloy) and the bottom heavier (e.g. replacing metal with HA, or adding another metre of floor).

While turning is generally due to poor rudder-placement. Start placing them level with the CoM - that won't be perfect but is a good starting point for fine-tuning. If it turns into the turn (left turn -> left roll), place the rudders higher up. If it rolls out of the turn, place them further down.

Thanks i will try it
