So someone(s) is sailing around in a basically untested ship but is able to fight other players with it? Give it to ALL to test or keep it internal.

And certainly not to THAT guy

the classic one has same stats as the one that is currently ingame. Differences are only sail appearance and 4 bow chaser instead of 2. Max crew thickness speed are all the same. Classic one has 9 more crew in sailing tho.

The guy testing it cant fully understand art, I demand another one for me.

Yah doesn’t he only like bath tub toys from the shallows.  Next he will get the Christian to test too.

he was streaming, I was streaming. We both stream without delay. We even said where we are. We even sailed into the french new orleans reinforcement zone (They runaway in ow as soon we left the zone to face them). 2 Brits tried it at Key west and failed. Heths put her into fire. If someone really want her. Just come and get her.

She has no imported status so free to capture!

Br for 3rd rate is defintely too low and will probably be spammed which is kind of ok historically most of the lineships in battles were 74 and not 1st rates

But why is the Trinc same BR as a bloody 3rd rate?

Also the Victory's BR is way to high .. only 20 lower than L'ocean? even with the 68pd carros it can't stand up to the ocean as it's just not enough guns 

Also the Victory will remain useless untill it's leaking problem is fixed .. being able to 1shot a Victory with a bellona is absurd yet easily doable (tested it) 

It's also not historically accurate as well since if anything the victory should be the hardest ship to leak as it was noted that it sat very low in the water such that the bottom deck was like only  meter and a half above the water therefore had to be closed in rough weather . So PLEASE fix the vic's leaking problem

I proposed to admin a br of 750 for the Vic and 350 for the 74.

But the only guy who agrees with me is @Sir Texas Sir (and not always).

guess it will be tweaked even further when they see l'oceans are still preferred over victory

Anybody (admin? Ink?) got some intel on the Dianas' tweaks? She performs less good (but still very fine and not totally OP anymore) close hauled. Turning still is tremendous.

Sitting low in the water should have nothing to do with leaking from shots to the waterline right? Every ship has a waterline and if you shot there and punch some holes your enemy will probably take on some water. Although I think the leak mechanic in game only counts shots under the intended waterline in the plan. I don't sail the Victory but isn't it more a heeling problem then, which should be less when she sits lower in the water?

Hopefully just as a way to differentiate the models from each other because both are in the game right now. I also hope that the new model will completely replace the old one.

Guess its the War 1812 model. But to be sure maybe an expert can say something to that.

Release no idea

Bring this here as this is related to BR balancing.

I really like this as this forum is full of people who support their own playstyle and favorite ship.

You then have to make sure you use right statistics. This is why I asked earlier did you use OW PvP statistics as well. OW PvP is pure gank and Port Battles are almost like a boxing ring.

The only way to balance OW PvP is to change ship stats.

You would need to add BR based ROE or signaling perk or something to force BR to OW PvP. After would make sense to use OW PvP statistics as well.

After this patch people are probably still going to use Endymion and Trincomalee in OW PvP and have good results. Not sure if they are going to use these in port battles though.

Would be very interesting to see BR values based on Port Battles and OW PvP battles separatelly. Possible to get these from the combat result logs?

How would it be possible to give navy brig or lynx a BR? They are not used in pbs. Same goes for many other ships.

The closest you´ll get to her War of 1812 appearance is the model gifted to Isaac Hull by Connie´s crew and the Corné painting, commissioned by Isaac Hull.

Can post links atm, but hopefully someone other can :)

I just looked it up - I know very little of US ships, very fascinating model. Thanks for the tip.

This is the painting I mentioned above, there´s another one by Corné showing the battle between C and Guerrière IIRC

If battle rating is affected by sustained battle performance and usage rate it will always generate outliers, sometimes lowering its rating below lower classed ships.
It will become and feel normal, once everyone consider br not as arbitrary number based not only on ship stats but how this stats affect battle performance (new missions wont be BR based but will be class based)
Excepted outcome: Port battles will definitely be more diverse now. And ships that were avoided before will get used more. Which will in turn could increase the rating. If performance does not change - then ships stats definitely need to be addressed. 

Couple of iterations and the ratings will stabilize.

I just want to say how much I appreciate the new BR system. I know that some ships are way off right now but this is such a big step in the right direction. I know that with playing the ships and proper feedback that by the time release comes around every ship should have a fairly accurate BR. It will never be perfect but certainly is a lot better than what it was.

 

Port Battles are going to be crazy now!! (In a good way). Just had s shallow water port battle yesterday with several different kinds of ships on both sides. Only a couple Le Requirements. I had a great time being trounced!
