More on the topic #MakeConnieGreatAgain.

She is a ship I deeply love... and I used in any possible variation.
From the old teak/fir or fir/teak PvPer, to the great strong battle teak/WO, passing through  weird variations like fir/maho (fast raiding boarder) and fir/fir "heavy tagger" (speed fitted and mast buffed to tag the super Wasas without losing masts in 2 broadsides nor being sunk in 3) up to the super tanky super frigate LO/WO (going side to side vs 1st rates with edinorogs+42carros).

BUT at the moment she is a broken ship: too slow for PvP hunt and counter-hunt, too low turning rate to fight effectively anything both smaller or bigger.
So I really wish we could get a working Connie(classic?) making her again a great ship... as she was historically.

I agree she is too slow, but her turnrate is not bad if you look at her apperance

With the new addition the old conni has absolutely no reason to exist.

Isnt there a difference between them?

Except aren’t we expecting Connie classic to be DLC? ;) 

Thanks though, it should be fun to test.

 

If we get DLC Connie it will be even more OP than Herc and LeBroken. There should be no premium ships above 5th rate

Dear Devs: there's nothing to test.
Granted you added 2 more bow chasers, I can assure that pressing 4 times in place of 2 the spacebar, I fire all 4 bow chasers, as intended I think.

Granted you (nicely) made her model better, I can assure that it is better.

Granted that all stats stay the crappy same of Constitution, no need to sail her to know that she's slower than Agamennon (LOL) and turning like a 3rd rate (WTF). Nothing to say I should rework her 5 books again... something I'll NEVER do granted the above noted SAME stats.

My personal suggestion is, at least, remove old Connie model and simply replacing it with Classic one.
You could add or not the 2 extra bow chasers... but it'll make NO difference at all: she'll be NOT USED.

Thank you

Stay away from it then or run 2 parallel tests with both connies.

1st one would be obvious - hull shape versus ball of various weights.

I think you can test a few more things...

I already noted the bit more round side... so more bouncing. So slightly buffing her strenght (thinkness atm on par with Bellona): a strenght that already demonstrated it is not sufficient to make her viable.

Other to be tested. Like? Hard stats and profile are the same... so: what changed?

PS: I am a tester, in theory. I need to know BEFORE WHATS GOING ON (so profile, ALL stats hidden and not) and then test them especially in relation with other ships... not try&fail to discover for example the effect of a rigging or the other. VERY BAD policy IMO.

Is all same values except for Rigging Crew ( needs more sailors in there ). Hull shape changed, sail plan is different, some guns added. Test.

I can see on a ship 1 sail or 1000. If her top speed is the same, nothing change stat wise.

Being stat wise total crap at the moment... she'll keep being crap.

Checked too sailing profile: it can considered even WORST than normal one (speedtrials great pages).

2 bow chasers... good (especially Connie one being 18lbs)... BUT with staying crappy stats (like 2.87 turning) she'll keep being... CRAPPY.

Just rename it heavy frigate

LOL, here I have a better idea.

Replace all old connies with the updated model connie, then take the old model, rename it the Acheron from m&c and sell THAT as DLC.

guaranteed more $$$ this way

Making the Constitution a DLC and having the worse version available through regular means would illicit the same response from Americans that you would get from the Brits if you made HMS Victory a DLC and make Bucentaure available regularly.

Only a million times worse because subtlety is not an American speciality.
