Having received word of British intentions to capture the mighty French port of Bensalem, from our handler KoD we (being the puppet Pirates that we are) did as commanded. Squadron of light and agile ships assembled, we sailed to the area and found and engaged the British fleet of tough and fast-firing (rumored poods, no confirmation) port battle ships with our fleet.
Although our fleet was superior in number of lineships, the enemy ships were considerably tougher, their cannons easily punching through our flimsy hulls.
We took some losses, and had a couple close calls, but overall had some good fun. Masts were taken and leaks were given and received.
Thanks for the fight Brits.
Also props to @Christendom for always saying that I am going to get leaked out when I sail my Victory or Pavel, yet he was the one who sank to leaks . In his defense, it was an AI-captured cag/crewspace Bellona that did well until the leaks came.
Oh, and we have come to the conclusion that Wasa is nearly worthless for this sort of fighting.
[Caribbean] Great battle results.
