William Death Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Excellent fight in the reinforcement zone just outside the St. Marys Port Battle. US tagged a Basic Cutter, so we joined in the fun to defend the poor Frenchman in his cutter. WO wouldn't do it, but VCO and XXXXX did! The United States First Rate captain apparently assumed his fellow captains could handle our squadron, and subsequently escaped. It was our pleasure to prove him wrong. Masts fell, planks were shattered, leaks were formed. Ships sunk. Several managed to escape from us just before they were sunk. Lucky captains. More would have been sunk, had we had more time in the battle. Despite their best attempts with chainshot, raking, and even some focused fire, our staunch third rates refused to let us down. Toward the end of the fight, there was some confusion among our friends outside (they had been previously fighting French captains) who joined the wrong side of the fight (in their defense, it was the only side that was open by that time). Somehow I managed to go through that whole fight and not get any kills on ships. But I was the master of heavy assists! Overall, good fight US, we enjoyed it very much. o7 #heavyassists #creatingcontent 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking cause I noticed something like this the other day too. So while they don't have FFA any more they still can join either side? Well at least that is one good thing I guess. Could make some interesting battles than, though I still think they need FFA's back. Honestly any battles out side the C/R zones should be FFA's battles.

Why that first rate and third rate bailed out I’ll never know but they need a good talking to... Tarikan and Storm Crow we’re both nearly sunk a couple times, we just couldn’t get the finish...

Tarikan Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I was worried that I was going to sink and you US guys were trying very hard t9 finish me off. Thankfully I listened to my comrades and they helped me out with a lot of things, this was the first fight I have ever really done where the enemy outnumbers the side I was on. I know it must be frustrating to not get a sink on someone but thank you for bringing the fight, it was definitely a learning experience for me on how to manage repairs and team coordination.

Liq Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I feel like chain is still too OP close up and too weak on range. I did about 45% sail damage to the essex in one chain-rigging-rake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Death Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Port Battle of Lorimers and Related Engagements Pirate Battle Commanders: Christendom, El Presidente Amplify, and William Death We formed our line and set a course to cut the Prussian line in two. At the last moment, those sneaky Prussians modified their line to be a looser formation. I took heavy damage in the opening shots and had to drop out of the front of the line. We proceeded to chase the Prussians and finally managed to separate and sink a few of them. Multi-ship-single-target focused-fire is a wonderful thing. One poor soul lost an absolutely beautiful Santisima: What a shame to see a ship so beautiful sail to a watery grave. Despite a few close calls, none of our large ships were sunk. The battle ended when the Prussians left (I assume to go defend Salina Point). Now if only we'd had long cannons on our bow instead of carronades to tag them with... Upon exiting the port battle, we found ourselves in another battle, this time with some French captains from UWS. Their soft Teak/WO and LO/WO ships were no match for our BLACK Ironwood constructed ships. But they were faster than us. One of our faster ships, the beautiful Santisima captained by Amplify, was running low on repairs, so we decided to call off our chase. Now if only I was sailing a real first rate, like a Santisima, instead of this ugly second rate L'Ocean abomination, I may have gotten some kills instead of all assists. Nevertheless, I appreciate having it loaned to me (my proper PB L'Ocean was tucked away on an alt and I showed up too late to claim a Santi spot) and am pleased to report it will be returned to its owner with nothing more than a few scratches. #creatingcontent #heavyassists Thanks for the battles everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG o7 Last time you got a dc, this time we got a player, witch was not supposed to be there. He just joined the PB. For a while I thought we could out fox you. Maybe if all the Le Reguins at the same time had went for the motar, we would have gotten it down. And when you send a big ship down to help, they should maybe just have run and kept been a tactical advantage behind your line. But lets see what the next fight brings. Well played.

Christendom Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Had a good scrape outside Corrientes as the brits tried to generate hostility. The crack VCO fleet scrambled and kept them busy while Spanish reinforcements showed up to bring the beef. Was interesting jostling 2 teamspeaks and 3 languages, but it was fun. Lot's of tears, explosions and VCO's bloodfued against the ever elusive, rarely seen Capt Hardy on the OW has finally sated since the days of global. GF Spain and Brits. Fireship kudos go out to Smoggy for getting rage with it. The aftermath 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
