Jeheil Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I felt it snowballed, once the first ship fell and with other damage being equally spread it slowly snowballed, then a 2nd and so forth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeheil Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 That wins the prize I think for best PB so far, what a cracker, so many biffed up ships, brawl, tactical takes on the circles, excellent stuff, thanks so much for the upload. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk33y Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 What a battle, I can't wait to see a nation fully use the fireship. Catching the fleet as it turns through irons, the destruction from a few fireships exploding on a stationary fleet could be a true game changer! I miss my pirate boarding fireships of old!

monk33y Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) If you'd have hit them as they turned through the wind, wow just wow! I haven't done a port battle since land was added but before I used to line up the fireship across the front of a target, depower with boarding loaded, turn off guns once caras had fired and turned off sailing. (put survival on just before boarding) Board the target as my fire would start and wait for the bang! Used to love the chance of exploding my ship but capturing the target as the boarding screen would not always close (may have been a bug. Danno) then just keep firing. On a side note with coni's 2nd and third explosion chance the damage was crazy! From what iv tested the hamburger once goes pop seems to hold onto alot of crew! Has anyone else noticed this! What I noticed from your video was the pirates totally panicked for like 5mins after the bang! They totally lost any organisation Edited January 12, 2017 by monk33y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpfanger Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Great job swedes ... good leading by sveno and rediii ... would be easyer in one language GG also fo your Morta-Brig-Master Bernadotte ... Your capping Agas are speed builded? I think this could be special kind of ships in future .... fast and boarding fitted Frigates @rediii... little bit unlucky, that you was hit by your own fireship ... but nice, how you stayed alive , changed ships and avoided to get boarded respects Berend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On points, within time. With 8 of our fist rates (including me) screened out. I came in 5 minutes before closing to recap A from under their noses XD. Points were 1000+ vs 280-ish.

Since this game has lobbies, open world speed slew and ships spanning over a couple hundred years, allowing the attacker a small chance at screening an attack makes perfect sense. This is a war game after all, not a simulation of reality or history. Sometimes people get tagged when they dont want to. Seems like a good analogy of life if you ask me.

More accurately this would make a mistake made by the defender exploitable, as it should be. Since the entire fleet was not involved in the tag, and only 8 where; maybe the danes should figure out who messed up enough to get tagged. Often times it can only take one guy moving when he shouldn't or being slow to click enter. Throwing out mechanics for a bad move is a laughable idea.

azu Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 i think last night was player mistakes we where all very tired. but i don't like the idea of being able to screen the defensive fleet 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azu Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 10 minutes ago, Wraith said: But of all the port battles that were scheduled yesterday, I can't count any where screening kept entire forces out? That said, there was some super sketchy behavior down at Castries where the Swedes and French pulled some squirrely shit, tagging each other into battle since they weren't allied to keep screeners from doing it first, but we won't dwell on that... In any case, I think we are mostly on the same page. I just think defensive screening should be a possibility, as it is now. Where if you decide to join the port battle from anywhere other than the dock you run the risk of being screened out. This is basically how it works, no? And any screeners at the dock risk both being under the guns of the forts if they manage a battle and very easy picking for even a small counter-screeening fleet. As such, it requires no special changes in RoE or any other mechanics to keep this working. Now, given how hard it is for attackers to win port battles to begin with... reducing the ability to screen out attacking fleets might be entertaining, but I don't see any good mechanics proposed that don't also have severe consequences for non-portbattle PvP, so I'm reluctant to get behind them. i was on the swedes ts while the attack was happening and even though i don't understand german, i diden here anything about the french was gonna help them get in to the battle and in the swedes defense they where always against us/danes having to resolve to that kinda low gameplay so don't let the danes bad rep smear of on them =) i agree with you on how things are right now where you have time to get in to battle but you might give up the Superior wind in doing. but when we come to screening the attacking fleet i hope some measure can be found if only raising the risk of the screening fleet. the reward is easy to see you stop the port battle and lose no 1 rates and you get a chance to capture enemy 1 rates but what is the risk except losing mostly gray ships.
