Published on June 27 You can have the pdf or some info about ships?

This is a Pallas-class 46,93 x 11,91 x 6,20 m (lenght/beam/depth)

And this is swedish frigate Dromedarius, renamed Stralsund in 1712, after lost in action in 1715, or another ship ? I not understand

Also the quarterdeck holding 18 pdr? Which is the historical armament ?

And about the armament of Leeuwenhorst? There's in the national archives ?

At patch 9.94 we can see the add in game of the 36lbs guns, the most used in the lower deck on 2nd and 1st rate vessels in history. We must remember that no ship has ever been used in battle with the 42 lbs guns, exception for the british HMS Victory, replaced then with 32lbs at Trafalgar. My suggest for the game is change limitation for 36lbs (usables only for class Oceàn) to be able to use in most of the currently and future 2nd and 1st rates, and add limitation about 42lbs guns only for HMS Victory. This would be correct for a great simulator game.

Pirates are too much ignored in the game for me. You must do a patch only for pirates. No balance at the moment !
