Ship Tipping

[samsy19]

Well, i never knew this was possible until now. I found out whilst trying to board someone that if you push their ship down with yours you can actually tip it. Thought it was interesting and would like to hear your experiences, if any, of this happening too!

Forgot to say how i did it: 

 

I've done this twice now. If you find a ship of a similar size (and with a good wave) i've found out that you can push the back corners of the ship down causing it to tilt, if you push harder it will flip and that happens.

We have a great highlight on Braincage's stream when he was being chased by the Americans. A Renommee flipped a Trincomalee and allowed our man Braincage to escape the battle.

Found out about it by accident myself. I had heard in chat about capsizing ships, but didn't witness it until I ran into a pirate at just the right angle and speed to do it. I've tried it on purpose several times, but only as a last resort tactic, when keeping my sown ship afloat is more important than the potential loot and prize money I'd get from an enemy that's in the process of sinking me.
