Tomasso il Fortunato Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Also i really like Spanish Galleons , they can carry a lot of cargo and they have a lot of guns per deck . Seriously I came with this idea because this ship can improve trading and war . Like frigates and 3rt ranks ships , in game must be galleon class . Here is some examples of my idea . If you have any other idea for this class of ship , put them here . Edited December 19, 2018 by Captan Thomas Fremantle 3
Vernon Merrill Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Obsolete mostly by the game period... Ingermanland is already in-game and mostly useless... but pretty. 5

I fear Vernon is right, Galleons weren‘t the ships of choice anymore in the period this game is set (~1700+ to 1800+).

If you have any other idea for this class of ship , put them here . Galleons were notoriously bad sailers and even in the late 16th century they were considered ill-suited for fighting. The spanish actually adopted the convoy system and revolutionized early frigate designs due to the very nature of the Galleons being unable to manouver in a fleet engagement. Basically the galleon adopted the new gunplatforms that became prevalent in naval warfare, but were by design unable to adopt the more fluid and moving engagements that the gunplatforms benefitted from. Basically the Ingermanland with less sailing characteristic and less broadside weight (as I recall the galleons had for their time a lot of low caliber guns).. Edited January 18, 2018 by Guest

Haratik Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Unfortunately @CaptainSparcklesss this was debated, argued, and finally decided long before you arrived. Hate to burst your bubble, but Galleons are not to be found here except in the history subforum.
Malachi Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Also, there are just two galleons in the OP anyway 1

Well, I like to sail them After with Cr33D we fought Vltra with them, they seem to have started to fancy Ingers as well. It's definitely far from OP, but it has it's uses
Odol Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 No, No, No. Please no one uses the oldest ship in game now the Ingermanland. For obvious reasons, it is old. It is outclassed by EVERYTHING in its rating and even below it. And it looks like ass. Sorry there is a reason why we dont have ships from the 1600s in game. Even the famous Fluyt isnt in game. Even though it would be nothing more than a fat Snow.

It's sailing profile makes it one of the most dangerous 4th rates in OW. 5
blademage Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Galleons wouldn't fit the game like galleys or steam vessels.

More or less, every day I use one, and people I sail with use them too. People we fight with also use them, I see one in enemy's hands approx. every 2 days. Inger is balanced, only it's BR is not balanced. That's why it's not used in PB's (like all other 4th rates except for Wasa).
Tomasso il Fortunato Posted January 25, 2018 Author Posted January 25, 2018 Ok , I am agree with you all , I know galleons are slow and bad manouvrablee, but they are strong with a lot of guns , big and beautiful and they have a lot of space in the magazines , it can be usefull to transport cargo and looting other ships . Maybe one ore two gallons will make success because people will buy them .
HamBlower Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I imagine the crying in forums when the first full loaded galleon is caputered... Please, god of naval action and common sense, spare us with ships that don't fit to 18th century!
Malachi Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) @CaptainSparcklesss If you´re such a big fan of galleons, you might want to remove the pics in the OP which don´t show this type of ships. It´s a bit misleading in it´s present state. Edited January 25, 2018 by Malachi

Galleons had a lot of SMALL guns... you have to remember they are 17th century ships, that were mostly armed with much lower caliber guns than were found on ships of the same size 100-200 years later.
SirAlatriste Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 More modern ships is not correct, but old ships can be deployed, at least the galleons yeah... 1
Galvez88 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 introduce galleons in the game would be fantastic 1
