Immersion by sound

[Jerome]

Battles in NA are beautiful, great graphics. But it is a lot like playing a shooter with no gore. Add some things to make it more visceral. When you get rigging shock you should here a bosun roaring for men to grab axes and clear those spars. Crew casualties should be accompanied by cries for the surgeon, crew shock should likewise have audible cues like the sound of a midshipman saying "we must strike sir!". Fires should have the crew fighting desperately to extinguish it. Broadsides should have crew cheering and yelling. As it is, when major damage occurs you don't notice unless you see the white text calmly informing you of "crew shock" because Poopdeck's Surprise just raked you with carronade and your scuppers are full of blood. That would be a nice visual effect too. Basically make combat more intense and add audio or visual cues for significant events.
