We did not like that explosions were just a nuisance and were not really dangerous.
We also did not like that explosions did not do anything with masts much and with sails.
As a result we doubled the damage to masts, hull and crew and increased the radius slightly. (It was in the patch notes)
Explosions became deadly and dangerous (which they should be) but we do not want the battles to be played solely in this direction..
What do you guys think?
