[Lovec1990]

Greetings,

Witch of these ship is better on paper Bucentaure wins it but does St pavel has any advantage or is Bucentaure clear winner?

Buccentaure

On the paper, the Buccentaure seems like the best heavy ship, with huge canon and caronnade.

He have a better armor thickness and better mast thickness

He can carry 840 crew and he need 820 crew for gunnery

He have huge fire power (even in caronnade)

He have a higher size of canon

Sailing Profile: unknow

BUT

- he have lower HP structure

- He have lower speed.

- The ship size (lenght) seem higher that the St Pavel (as the Agamemon / Constitution)

 

For the St Pavel,

On the paper, he have a nice speed and  better HP structure and more sail Point

He can carry 800 crew and he need 690 crew for gunnery

He have in term of length, a lower size

Sailing Profile: Unknow

 

BUT,

- he have lower mast and armor Thickness

- He have lower fire power

- He have lower size of canon

St. Pavel needs less crew, more beautiful ship, different gun layout, different sails profile, better tacking and I believe better sailing close-hauled.

@Anolytic has many good points i have had both and its honestly more on your play style if im honest i love the bucc & the pav i have had both the pav also bounces shots a lot better is also another point im a more of a fan of the guns on the bucc but prefer pav overall

so its like la ocean vs Santisima ?

[Thonys]

The Pavel had a buff on many fronts so that alone says enough (atm the best  heavy brawler)

[Lovec1990]

So St pavel is better in real action but bucentaure wins on paper?

[Lovec1990]

i chosen bucentaure.

Can anyone tell me what is this house on poop deck?

The fact also, is that in the admiralty,

- you should pay 525 combat Mark, mean 175 for the Blue Print (1 victory Mark) + 350 combat Mark for the permit (2 victory mark) to realize your dream a St Pavel

- You should pay, 250 combat Mark, mean 50 for the Blue Print and 200 combat Mark for the Permit to make the Buccentaure

 

 

I guess, that if the St Pavel cost so much combat Mark, means it's a really "cheaty" boat,  why not to pay this price but at this time, no one is able to say, in which way (in combat) the St Pavel is better or worst than the Buccentaure.
