Richard Dryfus Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Quote of Daily Dispatch to His Majesty the King of England.... -Dispatch RELIC Navy Caribbean Squadron -Date: March 28th Your Majesty, Today, there was for the first time in a long while, a decisive victory for English Forces over the Pirate "Navy." Even though the English were outgunned, in a battle that reminisces to the tactics and abilities of Francis Drake, the British have once again protected their home waters. This battle resulted in the complete destruction of the Russian Pirate Fleet including the sinking of the St Paval the Pirate Flagship of the Armada, which itself took down one of our Ships of the Line, before succumbing to the depths. This victory, won in your honour, has reaffirmed the might of the British Empire, and the continued supremacy of the British navy in and around Jamaica. Forever in your Service, Commander Richard Dryfus (GG Folks, was close, and a very good game.) Edited March 29, 2016 by Edge_of_Insanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Not to throw a spanner in the works but from those two screenshots I will note: brits: 25 = 1034 guns7 3rd rates = 5184 4th rates = 2168 5th rates = 2202 6th rates = 443 7th rates = 36Pirates: 22 960 guns1 2nd rate 823 3rd rates = 2224 4th rates = 21611 5th rates = 4022 6th rates = 380 7th rates = 0 Not only did you have more guns, you also had 7 SOLs to 4 SOLs, which is nearly always going to be a deciding factor in that battle. So I'm afraid your claim you were outgunned, is incorrect Looks to be a great fight though! Edited March 29, 2016 by Monkey Bullet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Dryfus Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Are you really prepared to believe that the 2 snows, and three Basic Cutters were actually of assistance in this battle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B24LIBERATOR Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Snows can be very useful if used properly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceShade Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) I was right outside, and filled up before I could get a slot. Shame that a cutter with two AI took up 3 slots, but it was won regardless. Apparently it wasn't looking pretty at first, because our side was purely adhoc and lacked good communication.

So I'm afraid your claim you were outgunned, is incorrect Looks to be a great fight though! Let's say that the 6 (4? there were 2 AI) pounders of cutters and snows don't particularly weigh up to the cannons of 5th rates and up. If we remove those from the equation, we come to a more even 954 vs 922 guns, if you care about these numbers at all. I'd say that communication and tactics has a bit more influence in these fights. I'm surprised the Brits won this fight. Edited March 29, 2016 by IceShade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
