BungeeLemming Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I highly doubt the combat effectiveness of such ships. They are very very thin planked. And altho there were 30+guns on so called xebec-frigates you will have no good time with such a ship versus a reaf squarerigged frigate. Wich actually has some armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Then why compare them to frigates? They can eat smaller ships for breakfast. At the end of the day, there's not a whole lot of difference between the bulwark that's eight inches and one that's three inches thick if your average roundshot is going to punch straight through both of them.
