Michael96 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Hello everybody. Yesterday I was doing some missions and in one of them this happened: I am playing Naval Action since like three weeks now and this was the most hilarious thing I have seen in the game so far. When the battle started, we were sailing towards each other, and I wanted to pass him by broadside to broadside at close range, but before that he made a turn and I crashed right into his flank. He rolled over onto his side and I was pushing him onward like this for a bit. When I stopped, he went back upright again. Now what I am asking myself, shouldn't that guy take in lots of water and sink?
Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Sure, but shouldn't your water cut planks be shattered as well and water start pouring in ? ( and they are hell to fix, so you'd sink as well )
Æthlstan Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 that used to hppen quite often, cool to know its still possible. One epic mission saw my trincomalee on top of another trincomalee, just kinda floating there. Made for a nice screenshot

It looks like you're going to pass broadside to broadside, like you say, and then they'll turn into your path at the last minute. Before the last change to how leaks work, a solid ramming hit like that (just the hit, no capsizing) could have you taking on a lot of water, so there were a couple of times where I nearly lost my ship right at the start of a mission after AI ships turned in front of me like that. Now I've gotten to the point where I kinda expect them to do that, so I watch them closely as we're approaching each other at the start of the battle, and then I turn the other way at the first hint of them starting to turn.
Serk Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) I actually sank today in my privateer after being rolled over in a similar way by a trader snow. My ship was completly upside down (Keel up, not on the side) and it was instantly filled with water. That was hilarious. Edited July 24, 2016 by Serk 1

It was fun to watch, heres a screen of Tommy Shelby rolling over a Bellona I found from a while back.
