Burning Ice Cannonballs not freezing

While freezing someone with Burning Ice Cannonballs, the ship that was being hit by me, was able to shoot back at me with p-ammo (there was absolutely no freeze time, although appeared to look as if it were frozen).

Is this normal? If so, what's the point of having Burning Ice Cannonballs if it doesn't freeze your opponent and keeps them from momentarily, fighting back?
Thanks for any replies!

 

Burning ice ammo doesn't freeze your enemy so they can fight back but freeze's they're ship so they can't escape, it also has an after-burn that last's awhile, the point of having it is for freezing for enemies so they can escape or using it for it's high damage and after-burn.

 

Here is your answer (I think) which I copied and pasted from where it was asked recently by another player:

So now I see there is a cheat for the ice ammo. They are able to not be frozen and able to shoot when they have the ice shell on them. So besides they have all the islands, have all maxed boats because of the botting, they now have this new cheat. Good job BP.

The team are aware of this and try to fix it.

People who have been frozen with iceballs or have the shell, can still shoot back. As for their being able to move, in most cases, that seems to be a glitch in the system. When its working right, the freezing of the iceballs prevents the player from moving, but does not prevent him from shooting. As far as I know, only smokebombs have this ability of freezing and preventing the smoked ship from moving and shooting.

 

Ahoy mate,

Have these answers helped you?

 

yes, it helped me to realize, 'they' are using something else when you hit them with burning ice balls and they are still able to run! So, yes, you can close now. Thanks.
