Prater Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I'm not sure where you are getting your broadside weight numbers. Broadside weight refers to the weight of shot fired on a single target, meaning 1 broadside and not both. Technically, I think it only refers to the main battery (gun deck) but I think it should include all decks for a more accurate number. An example Lynx 4x4lbers 16 or 4x6lbers 24 or 4x12lb carronades 48 Lynx is at max 48. But otherwise awesome chart. If you look at the Victory, Yacht, Cutter, and Privateer, they are correct on your chart, all the others are wrong. Here is an incomplete list to help you out that doesn't list all combinations and mostly just focuses on the standard armament with a few additions of carronades as well. I had compiled this list for TDA some time ago, but again, I just focus on the standard armamentsLynx4 x 6lb - 24total: 24Cutter, Yacht:6 x 6lb - 36total: 36or6 x 12lb cannonades - 72total: 72 (more than a standard snow!)Brig:8 x 6lb - 48total: 48 Mercury: 10 x 6lb - 60 total: 60 Snow3 x 6lb - 188 x 6lb - 48total: 66 Cerberus: 13 x 9lb- 117 total: 117 Renommee: [???] Surprise7 x 9lb - 6312 x 12 lb - 144total: 207 lbs Frigate: 13 x 18lb - 234 6 x 12lb - 72 total: 306lb Trincomalee:11 x 12lb longs - 13214 x 18lb longs - 252total: 384Constitution12 x 18lb - 21615 x 24lb - 360total: 576or12 x 32lb carronades - 38415 x 24lb - 360total: 744Bellona9 x 12lb - 10814 x 24lb - 33614x 32lb - 448total: 892Victory7 x 18lb - 12615 x 24lb - 36015 x 32lb - 48016 x 42lb - 672toal: 1638Santisima17 x 9lb - 15317 x 18lb - 30618 x 32lb - 57617 x 42lb - 714total: 1749

I am pretty sleepy. I will look into fixing it tomorrow. It's meant to be as you say a) minimum/maximum from a single broadside total metal weight min/max. Thanks for telling me.
Prater Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Actually, now that I look at it closer, I'm really confused The Victory numbers on the right are off. What do you mean by min-max broadside vs min-max metal weight? But this is awesome in my opinion and is a lot better than my list and goes into more details. I think it is an excellent visual aide
Brigand Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Nice work. The image of the snow is missing its trysail mast; right now she is depicted as a brig instead of a snow. ~Brigand
maturin Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I recommend posting broadside weight of metal for the historical complement of long guns. Leave the carronades out of it.
Brigand Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I was looking for the historic broadside weight for the List of vessels in the game as well, but it is hard to find any good data. If you have some, please share it. ~Brigand

I think it is an excellent visual aide Hi, yes I had an error in spreadsheet and I was very tired. Check it again now The idea is the broadside min max is the range of damage which can be delivered by a single broadside whereas metal weight is the total weight of metal she can fire from all cannons (minimum and maximum).
Thomas Cochrane Posted February 14, 2015 Author Posted February 14, 2015 Nice work.

I will update it in the next version as I saw your comment to late to get into this version. I'm sure people will find other errors too.
Prater Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I think your ST is off. Max broadside weight non carronade is 1749. I think you add in an extra deck of 24s. Constitution is 576, not 558 Also, yacht crew has increased to 35. Cutter crew is 40. You have listed for the Trinc a 3lb gun. Otherwise, looks good!

Brigand Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I just noticed that in 'number of guns' count you included the stern- and bow-chasers, this is contrary to what was common (hence the Bellona is referred to as a 74 gun ship). It was also common to list the main gun deck first, so in case of for example the Surprise, it would be 19 (12+7). Also, I can't really figure out where the 'metal weight' comes from? Typically, broadside weight and metal weight are used interchangeably. Cheers,Brigand
Prater Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 The metal weight is the weight of all the guns on the ship including chasers. I'd rather have that side changed to if the ship was carrying carronades, but it is fine how it is.
Brigand Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 The snow is still missing her trysail mast (so, as a result, you have depicted her as a brig). ~Brigand
BungeeLemming Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Updated the list with: Mercury: 10 x 6lb - 60 Cerberus: 13 x 9lb- 117 total: 117 Renommee: ??? frigate: 13 x 18lb - 234 6 x 12lb - 72 total: 306lb yeah.. using my filthy mod-skillz

Diceman Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Has this been updated?? I do not see the Niagara... I like this chart best of all the ship references!!
Aetrion Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Some ships list their gun decks bottom up and some top down in that chart. It also says small square rigs on the second column, but the Xebec seems to be a fore and aft.
