  1. I would like to add that in many wars the British blockaded their opponents in port. This meant that their sailors and crews got more training, practice and experience while being at sea, even if just cruising outside the shore of an enemy naval base. The blockaded counterparts (often the french) could practice gunnery but few sailing manouvers. It is also a fact that french gunnery would more often aim at sails to lessen the advantage of british sailing and manouvering skills. Also the sails were easier to hit for their inexperienced crews. I'm not suggesting this was a very successful tactic but these facts indicate that French crew experience was often lower than British. And since France was a major naval power (the second after Britain) my guess would be that in general the British crews and officers were the most profficient ones. Now there are a whole lot of other different factors of course but these facts haven't been mentioned yet I believe. Looking forward to testing this game out!
