Gregory Rainsborough Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 The Requin should lose its bowsprit to the Herc. 1

I'll spare you the details but, should the Herc lose her bow sprit in a realistic simulator, it might well drag her fore topmast down with it or something like that. It is hard to simulate, let alone fathom the destruction shipboard during a battle. In this situation, I would wager that the colliding ship's fore topmast fell as a combination between the force of the collision and the loss of the structural support provided by her bow sprit. This is what we should have in Naval Action to stop those rageboardes who do nothing but try to push you into the wind intentionally, @admin 3

PG Monkey Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Xebec can break the bow sprit on LGV,Essex and Cerb and probably a lot more besides

I'm not sure if they were just trying to push you into the wind to board, but I have killed a few Hercs with the Le Requin by just leaning alongside them and shooting, most of their cannons cannot hit the low Le Requin and with carronades I can outdamage their cannons that do hit. 1v1 I have not lost a battle yet against a Herc in a Le Requin.
Johnny Rotten Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 it's very silly how a xebec can break the bowsprit of a ship when it cant even reach it with its low profile

That's what you do.
