Able to turn yards with no sailors assigned

[Doug Maoz]

Hello all!

As I was leveling my Endymion yesterday, I saw the increased sail jobs and decided to turn them off to see how good the reload would be. To my surprise, I will able to turn the yards better with 0 sailors than with 60 assigned. With the default split between gun and sail jobs (~90 sailors on [6] Sailing) you tack better than with 0 sailors, but to my knowledge yards should not turn at all (or only glacially) with no sailors assigned to [6] Sailing. This was consistent over the two battles that I played.

I forgot to do an F11, and I am at work, but I will post screenshots of me tacking through the wind and recovering with zero sailors assigned to [6] Sailing when I get home. Has anyone else noticed this?

This is a known gameplay  issue and under review.

Yeah, I was just noticing that yard and sailhandling speeds are very fast with just 30-50 men. Or even less.
