And you can guess who dropped on Swedish channels the idea of the power of Privateer swarms - especially now equipped with 24carros. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDread Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 To be fair, we're not the first invulnerable fortress taken down by this strategy. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raekur Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I guess with the damage capability of the towers and fort being reduced we will see more port battles done in lighter ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reduced? At point blank a tower liquifies a snow in a couple minutes. Forts are totally OP (damage, range and undestructible) at the moment, especially for light ships (making ports like Nassau un-attackable). As often happened, Devs "battleaxe-balancing" makes things moving from negligible to deadly and viceversa; in both cases well afar from "balance". In this case the point was simply the mass (and speed) of the privateers fleet: splitted damage and reduced time underfire. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case the point was simply the mass (and speed) of the privateers fleet: splitted damage and reduced time underfire. That's true. Fort power is high. Some ships are less hurted by them, including the privateers used by SWE yesterday, because they are small targets (fort precision of fire is not that big, in particular in elevation aiming) and privateer masts are quite difficult to hit down. But Rediii's Requin was smashed hard by the fort yesterday (bigger target). This was the only moment when we Brits found the fortifications useful yesterday. At other moments, they were almost as dangerous for us than for you (you cannot know what they will fire on next, and if you are in between, bye bye masts...) There is presently no counter measure to forts, since mortar brigs range, rate of fire and precision was reduced so much that they are now out of the gameplay. The only way is stay in fort range a small time, do what you can during this time, then run. Privateers can stay longer, and run faster.

Guest Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Tbf I watched some of the match via stream, and I wasn't very impressed with the british.. I saw no tactics from them, no cooperation and no adjustments once it was clear that the swedes came in 6th-7th rates.. The match would've been a lot different had it been against a coordinated fleet and I guess we'll see that when the swedes gets flipped again.

Earl of Grey Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Imho british already failed in screening. Screening fleet was unorganized and small, then it seems they just went in battle with the swedish screeners. I saw no attempt to Tag the PB Fleet ...

Smoothie Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 That one was fun to watch for sure. Although it wouldn't have hurt too much if some swedish captains had kept their mouth rather shut. No offence but some comments were a bit snotty. But this was maybe due to high adrenaline level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterall it is a game and meant to be fun. Big shoutout to Rook for getting the GB screeners organized for that fight! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We where also surpriced they could win the battle. We where sure the forts would kill them. There was not a fleet, they came in one at the time. Short Sweden out foxed all. Just dogmatic sweden were surprised. Because they are not used to unrated ships 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
