SeaMist Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I am sailing a Brig and the escorting cutters keep on going out of their way to ram me. Now I'm the lead boat right....and they are smaller and maneuverable so surely any supporting skipper would make the utmost effort to get out of the way....but no....It's like where's he going now!! <take evasive action as you can> Not again!! The next cutter skipper to do this will be keelhauled. Can you imagine the actual fate of a cutter skipper who did this? Might be a yardarm involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xAzDKr Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 It was stated in the patch notes that for one reason or another, AI appear to be dumbed down post-patch, just be patient and keep an eye on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMist Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks for that , at least I know now. I got t-boned four times in the one battle. New battle strategy: I'll just stay over here and fire from afar......you guys do whatever.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Beard Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yep and they like to shoot through your sails as well. Terrible little things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion74 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 The only thing they do well is act as a distraction, cannon fodder. They need to fix the fleet orders and make the little turds actually work in the enemy sails. I agree that the little Prique in the cutter is dumber than a bag of hammers. Prique is the name of one of my captains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrongway Peter Peachfuzz Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'd like to know why when enemy AI is shooting at me they're so accurate but when my fleet cutters are shooting with a "demast" command they NEVER hit a mast and it takes them 1/2 hour to reduce the target's sails by 8%. Enemy AI is like Horatio Nelson and friendly AI is more like Gilligan Also, it would be helpful to be able to order them to switch to grape.

surfimp Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I didn't realize hiring a fleet of cutters was even an option, before I'd accidentally leveled up past the point of being able to do so. Threads like this make me feel not so bad about missing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral 8Q Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Yes. Fleet cutters are genious. Trained by these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
