Drop purposely ship equipment & material in sea

[Celtiberofrog]

Ships are expensive (and life where very expensive too in ages of sail) so when being into an escaping action, when it can become a vital escaping, our ancestors commanders, when being hunted in an obvious inferiority to their hunter, could decide to drop anything from their vessels to gain speed, this action could include cannons.

NA should allow to drop all hold material (repairs, goods, etc...) as well as cannons as a last chance/risk to take to hopefuly save our ship. Both in OW and in Battle.

How did they just "drop" cannons I wonder?. 

 

I think it would end up everyone denying opponent any cargo in hold everytime you about to loose. No.

You destroy wood structure to open wider each scuttle and just push off cannons into sea.

I think it's an additionnal option to escape trying to survive that is legitimate and logical.

Ships are expensive.
