FLGibsonJr Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XfsuIaTU92Y This video shows what actual damage and destruction was caused by cannon fire on a ship. It is a live demonstration and very interesting. It may also be a help to the developers to see actual re-created damage caused on a ship by cannons. Regards, F. L.

Flip Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 It really does explain why most fights tended to be 1 - 4 broadsides followed by boardings or down masts resulting in surrenders. Just couldn't take that many hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
