BR is as fake as it always was. Those numbers mean nothing except entrance to pbs

Data there is outdated

a cerb is a 5th rate can it match a endy or indef in firepower? why suddenly same rates have to match each other they never did

Mod + Mod = Mod² All real issues you discribe are related to mods and effect any ship.

mods not ship any ship can do that

Mods are boken. Not only on the le requin but on all ships. Le requin just shows it in obvious way. That you dont call elite spanish rig broken on square riggers might be due that you think "yeah it has 30% less staysails force" But fact is it boosts any ship speed up like p rig does with requin. These ship are made for downwind for upwind there are other ships that will always outperform squareriggers (looking at schooners) . So saying but upwind performance is worse it has a negative effect is just a lie to yourself. Spanish rig would have an negative effect for square riggers if it would boost 180° performance but cripple 135° performance. Thats an negative effect. What do you want. Make DLC ships AI on ow and open to player capture would that be easy enough? Why they have to be easy to get? Thats POV. You look at guns and crew and when I look at sailing capability I see any schooner can do what the le requin does and any shallow square rigger can do what the herc does. a lynx gets easily beaten by prince. Nerf guns and crew on prince ..... Have you checked crew dmg on requin? It got fixed during the last hotfixes you can now grape her not only by aiming at the guns - any deck dmg kills crew. She even loss massive crew by broadside trades. The only reason why you dont hear many success stories about sinking her is that a square rigger cant chase her upwind even beaten to structure. Thats aint a ship fault as you may have read its a feature of the ship (steam dlc page). Its the same when your bellona runs straight downwind and outplays a schooner. Pls change squareriggers so they cant run away from schooners.....

then nobody would screen. and the ones in the pb would rage when no enemy show up while screened out.

We had that suggestion by admin before we had clan conquest so its closed but in my opinion is was way ahead its time. Some altering. For example carezones ( unlimted slots and only the really basic resources) could even make rvr interesting. (EU traders would ofc still work)

Any infos about the journal? hhaaavvee tooo manage my expectations

How should trading look like ?

Pickle has them as well

so actual friendly?

Not true. You assume that one xebec is faster than the other and that the chasing one is the faster one. Sailing in straight line behind will ofc lead to no victory. I reccomand to check out this vid and in the end swivels won over longs due to chasing skills and mods just like you said. Whole vid starting at 2:02:00

Can we pls go back to the sailing profile?

forget le requin one moment. what was the conterpart to prince before? A prince couldnt be caught by a prince as well.

Sailing downwind with the xebec is like sailing upwind with a square rigger. Upwind speed of square riggers is buffed downwidn for xebec is not. Even a basic cutter is faster downwind in openwold as a xebec. And having a square rigger in fleet makes the xebec even slower downwind but actual she would be the slowest ship. 😉

do they use that even i dont have the perks 😉

does area control work for fleetships, does carronade master do it, does prepaired work for them?? does rigging specialist work for them? Why should hold opti work for them?

"Cost" is a fake feature currently. We cried long enough to reduce eco to nothing. The longer we play the less struggle we encounter the less we get effected by loss. We are swimming in pvp marks. A pvp mark ship is nothing else as a dlc ship that we can redeem more often and contains even a 3rd rate that can be modded like all the dlc ships to be op. I need to craft something wait let me look into my warehouse sure do you need 500 of those ships? Sure the thought that it will matter to sink this crafted ship will make us sleep better but ugly truth is it doesnt matter. A player playing the game for some time is immune to loss, cost or whatever.

what ship does not have little downsides when fitted with the right mods?

the game is not designed around 1on1

Why is it ok to have a 15.5 bellona but its not ok to have a 15.5kn le requin? Why is it ok to have a 250+ boarding prince but its not ok to have 362 crew le requin? Why is it ok to escape upwind with a trader lynx but not with a le requin? Why it is ok to have a 32pd niagara but not a 32pd le requin? Why is it ok to have a almost full pb fleet of oceans but not a almost full pb fleet of le requins? I am not protecting the ship actual i am fighting for to make it as it should be. But i hate those claims to balance the ship after mods that could be used instead of balancing those mods in gernal that bvreak the game in so many ways and not only for the le requin.

why should other ships still be able to?

For better understanding. Here is a video what Spanish rig does to a pirate frigate (no other speedmods) that's up to 14% speed bonus. What other mod gives so much speed? Now think about what elite refits will do.
