Perhaps Lord Nelson was on to something... "Never mind maneuvers, always go at them."

Good fight guys.

SORRY is correct, the US fleet very slightly outgunned them at Ays. Pirates fought well and chose correct strategy (shooting masts seems to always be the best option, in every situation). The Americans put themselves in a bad situation by joining the battle very late, then attempting a frontal assault upwind into the Pirate line. Sadly it takes me two weeks of PVE to pay for participating in a single port battle loss. The disparity between winning and losing is huge, on the order of a million gold for the winners and 50-100k for the losers. I'm surprised any nation can sustain deep water campaigns for more than a couple weeks. Much of the great naval action in this game is walled off behind thousands of hours of grind, and it wears people down. Almost makes me miss Sea Trials. Hope to have at least a couple more good fights while I can still afford it. Cheers rats, we'll meet again soon.

Pirates being the most populous nation is an inevitability with the current game design, and I seriously doubt any nation on PVP 1 can currently match the weight of the northern Pirate fleet operating out of the Florida Keys (nearly 20 first-rates). The USA is building as fast as we can, but lack of Rear Admirals is also a problem.

By far the most honorable group of captains we've met in battle . Kudos for staying to give us a fight even when it was clear the American fleet had you outgunned and at disadvantage. Exemplary sportsmanship and gentlemanly exchanges on display by you Brits; very much looking forward to future engagements. 07

Is SLI/Crossfire support on the roadmap at all? Currently I'm getting no change in performance at all with SLI on or off with two GTX 970s, which makes it hard to run in Surround mode (5760x1200) without dropping to 20-25 fps.
