Vicious, you forget to mention that the entire british side in that shot is all 4th rates and in a port battle. We was coming off of the capture of st anne and risked a shot right after at your port as people had ot log off and go bed or w/e, at least 10+ had to leave. We never had time to really organise and get our heavys in. We had already known that we would lose the PB if pirates responded in force, but it was a risk we were willing to take and it didnt pay off. We gave you a hell of a ride and capped a vic on our way down, i cant speak for the others but i know i only left after taking multiple broadsides from multiple victorys after giving all i could, and even then i hung out firing long shots just to support even though my ship was filling up. I only clicked leave battle because there was clearly nothing more to be done, my ship had given a pounding right in the heart of the fight and had taken a huge punch in return, theres only so much a essex can do when 5 vics make a pass in one go.
Your organisation skills are admirable, but you cant claim overwhelming victory here, just a well planned and timed attack which netted your side much readys. I personally would never leave a fight if i can see a win still in sight, id go down to the bottom if i knew in the end id do serious damage or take you with me, or if one vs one in an honourable engagement. Certainly didnt see SORRY tags and think games over thats for sure, id give your guys a honourable fight any day even if it meant a loss for me as thats the type of person i am.
