SirValer Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Dear Devs, my endymion sinking fast and i can't do nothing with only 8 leaks, side with more than half life and hull full, survival was enable. it was a very good endymion fir/teak very fast navy hull, copper plating, improved sextant PB sailing 4 hull 4 mast 3 crew 3 thanks and sorry for my poor english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 8 leaks produced by what guns ? note: fir leak reduction value is very poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Main question, did you slow down? Your ship will fill up with water much faster if you go full speed, and if you allow the leaks to stay under the waterline. Learning to mitigate flooding from leaks is a skill, I'd be happy to go into more detail if you don't understand how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBoiteux Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (Reminds me I was a fan of the 'Crazy leak' patch. You could sink a ship with a few leaks. That was great. And is off-topic) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirValer Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 32 pounder guns (wasa broadside) i depower for reduce speed (close hauled ), no leaks reduction during the sinking time and survival enable, never noting this before. something change in the last week?

Hethwill Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 32pdr leaks are nasty, take a lot of men to repair ( leak repair + pumpers = survival crew ) Also, as EliteDelta puts, speed reduction is essential. I don't think only depower would be enough in the case of 32pdr holes + fir leak reduction penalties. Battle sails at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potemkin Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) The combination of not reducing speed and a red/yellow pump can be catastrophic. Edited August 25, 2019 by Potemkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirValer Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 no damage on pumps and the combination fir teak don't have a leak resistance bonus from teak plankng? fir fir have a malus, but fir teak i remember no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depowering doesn't reduce the amount of water intake, you have to reduce sail. It's not based on speed but on sails.

WTF mechanic is that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aster Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 100% sail=150% water. 80-20 is 100%. 0 is 50% water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for every 0,155kn up from 0kn you get +1% flood increase. Dont know about you guys, but imo it would make more sense then having it depending on the speed itself with full sails, brake with depower and yard turning and staying on 0kn rather then going 20% sails and 2kn Edited August 25, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papillon Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Leakage rate should be based upon two things IMO: size of hole in ship, and depth below waterline of [sinking] ship (because of hydrostatic pressure on haul increasing as depth becomes greater). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The case is under review On 8/25/2019 at 2:43 PM, Gregory Rainsborough said: Depowering doesn't reduce the amount of water intake, you have to reduce sail. It's not based on speed but on sails. This is not correct, amount of water depends on speed of the ship and not on sails mode 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
