Sir. Cunningham Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 She does indeed! Man I remember getting that ship in POTBS, rigged it for maximum damage in every way possible - even made the guys in 1st rates shiver when they saw my Black & White striped Formidable ^^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I hope we can get such ship in this game:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKPyrate Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 She looks like POTBS, Formidable' Second Rate = Christianus Sixtus 1733 Danish I don't see much in the way of similarities, except that they're both heavily gunned line of battle ships. The rig's completely different, the transom's different, the tops are different, and the bulwarks are different. It appears that the bow's projection angle is quite different as well, but that could be partly due to the different angles at which these pictures show these ships. Really, besides being based on wooden ships, and having lots of cannons, there's not much similarity between these two boats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it's the ship in PotBS which comes the closest I think Eventhough the formidable also kinda shares some features off the HMS Victory I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirones Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 the formi is more narrow where the Ana is more wider and a round sterngallery i guess its a similar class to trinidad except 3 gun decks. but since we get the Trinidad for Spain a second spanish First rate will be low priority same as another british First rate. needing now a French one maybe one build by the US if not there are alot of old late 1600 ships from Dutch and Sweden.

Would be nice if every nation got a basic frigate and 74-gun ship first. Not that I hate first rates, but you know its nice to see the workhorses as top priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir. Cunningham Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 The Santa Ana was also reportedly a good sailer, esp. for a 1st rate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anto Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The Spanish Armada... Amazing ships, big ships, gold convoys... And this is no exception: To start off I will write a bit about how it came to be: this was the 1st Santa Ana class ship-of-the-line out of the 8 there were built. Built on the Reales Astilleros de Esteiro, Ferrol (Spain) was launched to sea on the 28th of September, 1784, and later assigned on the 28th of February, 1785 to Captain Félix de Tejada. (he gave the all clear to the building of the other 7 ships.) Trafalgar: her captain on the battle of Trafalgar was José de Gardoqui, 97 deaths, 141 wounded, completely demasted... Rescued by an 80 gun ship-of-the-line: Rayo... What are you thoughts on the ship? Would you like to see it in-game? What would you add? Thanks for taking the time to read my post about something that makes me proud of my country, Spain (Not the battle of Trafalgar, the ship) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prater Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) I want to see the San Juan Nepomuceno in game (Spanish 74). Edited February 23, 2015 by Prater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Federico de Gravina y N Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 for a spanish one? In this case, maybe, we must think about the specifications of the HMS Victory, and all british ships, all french ships, and the all others ships from the all countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I hate first rates, but you know its nice to see the workhorses as top priority. I with you on this one. I really am not a fan of 1st and 2nd rate SOLs. What I am a fan of is Frigates and other 4th rates. I really want to see tons and tons of them, especially two-deckers with 50-60 odd guns as I think these are the most beautiful ships during the age of sail. 74-gun ships are the biggest I have any interest in playing, especially in Open World.
