?? source pls
I'm sorry but I think you need to take a look at reality before shitting on a game in caps.
SoL carried plenty of round shot, in British service at least 50 per gun off the top of my head plus extra bar, grape and chain and the required gunpowder. Spare sail cloth and rigging was also carried. If a SoL was unable to get jury rigs working and limp home on its own power it tended to be towed back home by a friendly Frigate or other SoL.
Fights in NA are limited to 1:30 - it would be almost impossible for a real life crew to empty the ship's magazine firing their guns. There is plenty of things that are unrealistic about NA .. but this isn't.
first : go and see and read for yourself
the ball is as light of a feather when it hits your hull and feathers don't do harm...
second : you are in denial.

the amount of powder and shot in this game is realistic for a 90 min fight, HMS victor carried 35 tonnes of gun powder and 135 tonnes of round shot when it was fully restocked
and what would 170.000 kg do on a snow ?

The reason chain was limited was to take away the ability of noobs to shoot out the sails of the expert gankers and their expensive ships that hang around outside nation capitals. You have be an elite mast sniper if you want to play those sort of games
that's a skill
also a way to sink the nebies>> in favor of the greatest EGO`s
lets sink the newbies song over and over
ps .if you don't have guns on your ship ,how on earth are you going to demast (snipe ) a vessel...(thats managed)
for me it is very simple>> to have a deeper realistic game [[just like realistic wind and sails are coming to]]>> we need limited ball introduced to the game. and take the amount of ball by choice of the captain.(and where ball has weight also)
it closes the gap from a fantasy game >> to a realistic game.
(solving [and closing] one of the unrealistic mechanics in NA )

Applies in blockade duty and being brought up necessaries by tenders.
At operational level the captain of a frigate had to be resourceful regarding supplies. Some could be arranged at natural anchor points away from any ports - usually for wood, water, forage - and then to ports - again water and forage but also tools and any specialized items and repairs - and also major ports - ad-hoc refits, repairs and replenishment of whatever ship needed IF said port had the facilities ( a major trade hub is not necessarily also a naval base ).
At operational level, a SOL fleet would sail with purpose, not to just cruise around. If strategic objective not met, they would return to base.
All of this cannot be simulated in the game.
Design choice of infinite ball meets realism as you may shoot, say, 180 broadsides during a full engagement, 2 per minute, 90 minutes. That is not far from any realism. If anything is "realistic design not considering exceptions that might have happened"; and a few did.
More important, for any ship in all ages, than the amount of ammunition is the amount of water. And we don't have to manage that.
So .....why is chain limited ?
do we [{dont]} have to manage that too....????
ohw wait............. it is managed ....sorry
ps. ball is not chain, chain is a chain with a ball . totally different... is it not.[ oranges or potato = oranges weigh nothing but a potato is limited ]
how many balls do you have ...ohw.... its limited i guess.(nothing personal but in general)

Ships were designed to carry full stock of cannon balls, why would that make them slower. End even if without any balls left, the ship would not necessary be faster, just sitting higher on the water, so less performant in most of the case.
not true..
after a day s fight every ship needed to be replenished with new ammo and food and crew, gunpowder ,sail.(mostly done by waiting ships at a given point)
what also included ammo.

The question is, how could you possibly limit ammunition in a game that lets people repair so much damage to their ships? Before you even think about reducing ammo you would have to reduce or remove the magic ship repairs that take place in a battle.. We already have the imbalance of limited chain shot but unlimited sail repair.
that's exactly the point (limitations and restrictions on one side and unreal other mechanics on the other side )
ad weight to ball (is a solution)
make your own discussion about weight, what has a deeper effect>> on you sailing a ship .
so >> more realism is brought back to NA

Hi,
One of the most unrealistic aspects of NA is the possession of balls > who are unlimited
unless you play with chain double balls or charge where everybody is restricted heavenly (too much)
but ball are unlimited and do not even capsize your ship .lol
or slow down your ship by weight .
where 10 bananas weigh so much it slows you down like being a snake
similar complaint were found randomly on the internet of being one of the complaints at video games in general
but NA posses some of these mechanics too , for example : the ammunition complain keengamer TOP 20 UNREALISTIC VIDEO GAME MECHANICS.
AMMUNITION
Militaries must be developing some incredible technology because Call of Duty and Battlefield will convince you that soldiers can run around with 30 extra magazines, that somehow fit universally into every single rifle ever made, including the foreign weapons wielded by your enemies. Not only that but ejecting a half-empty clip will magically redistribute the leftover ammunition into your remaining arsenal of magazines. Not a single bullet wasted then, admirable.
and somehow i agree..
let's get rid of those weird mechanics who ad nothing to the believability of a game anno 2020 .
if bananas and coconuts have weight ...
than ball should have weight to.
be realistic about your game. you play

Several good ideas but I would suggest steering away from points 5 and 8. If someone has real life issues that requires them to be inactive being automatically ejected from the clan may not be the best option if the person is already dealing with a bad situation. 8 may not work for those members that do not or can not generate the minimum amount of the tax (new low rank players).
point 8 : you can give low rank players a tax of 0
so don't see the problem here :
well point 5 could also even count for inactive clans ....(by game default) so also i do not see a problem there.(the forest of clans made by inactive players counted on the list.[ every day more and more tags coming in> in the search list ] )
clan management needs a overhaul heavenly .

we all have the missions for doing battle against any rate which you can take at a port what is fine .
but what about to take a mission to take from a port: called realistic battle
for example : at least minimal 3 vs 3.
similar as the mission we have already but with one thing that is different .
The names of the friendly ship and the enemy ship are not shown in the battle . (No names for both sides )
> but can be show on the map. (M)
recognition of enemies is only possible by communication on the friendly's part, and by flags shown on the back of the ship from enemies. (different flags become important here / recognition of different flags for identifying who is who (skill) )
goal : diversity of game play in a more realistic (non arcade gamy way . dumb shooting at red names and its fine ) and strategic decisions for doing repair.
> intensives the skill of the captain in detecting enemies and battle play.
> for being a realistic battle the xp reward for being a realistic battle is > positive xp x 2 (. reward side)
> also more fun for being a battle in some more realist /strategic way .
> the penalty for shooting a friendly is also a > negative - xp x2. on the reward side.
> loki are allowed (and will become more intense for recognition of a loki)
> repair time ( realistic penalty ) Hull / sail R from 10 minutes to >> 15 minutes (for doing a single repair)
> wounded and perished crew does not return to the battle field
mission exist in every / class ship rates.one per maintenance cycle. not joinable by others in C arias.

not only that some ships even bigger guns whilst historicly they didn't have them
The Wreker has a converted to british pound 39.5/34/13.5 pound
so closest could /should be 36/36/12 pd that could be a somewhat fair arrangement.
or put french /dutch guns on it
first period 1293 lbs british pounds (the metric we use atm)
second period 1411 lbs british pounds (the metric we use atm)
French/(>also dutch)/ metric :(dutch guns) (not in game ) (napoleonic era)
first period 1188 pounds F/D guns.
second 1296 pounds F/D guns.

The concept of neutrality from the Prussians according to the Dutch government.
The only thing that counts in the Caribbean is that the only neutral port has always been Willemstad and the other islands, (free trade for all)
The fact that prusses subsequently claim neutrality is a consequence of the way of thinking that the semi prussians inherited from the Dutch (being old Dutch captains) and that those thoughts thunder well through in their historical tradition, that this is then not consistent with current reality. , that is clear.you can claim something but the question remains why do you do that! (as a Prussian)
that is something that the prussians do not explain and apparently do not want to tell, which of course gives a mixed response about the truth of this whole debacle.
strangely enough, the proclamation of neutrality comes after the conquest of the Dutch gate in the east.
is it a diversion? is it to take attention away from the east, is it because the prussians want to bring about a status quo, with the dutch in the east
is there another reason.
it's just Fake news ?as long as the prusses do not reveal with their buttocks why they want this, the governments will see this as a sham,
a preconceived plan to lure the Dutch.
and further pressure on other nations to think that it is not so bad in other areas to be able to hang out the bull somewhere else.crossing a small border line is also crossing your own proclamation by consequences .
making a treaty:about: (
In the meantime Prussia will continue to pursue a diplomatic solution between the two parties. )
[meaning sweden and Russia] and not the vp .....xDDDDDDDD code , >> decoded.
To unilaterally proclaim a treaty of neutrality, a country also makes itself very vulnerable. for the actions that they subsequently perform.
you can then easily speak of treason and partiality,
or a mean game. also known as foul play.
in any case, neutral means that defense is allowed, but taking aggressive counter-actions from the treaties that you issue are actually not worth a ball for anyone who has to deal with it.every counter of tress passing in a aggressive way and is a action of going to war. breaking your own proclamation.
after a long debate in parliament the dutch decoded the xDDDDD as declaring neutrality by a king as foul play and above all ITS.. fake NEWS xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
The vp will see soon enough the foul play the pRussians play..
BORDER PATROL WILL BE ACTIVATED!
the evidence of betrayal...the evidence will /can be shown here ..soon
