Damage Location

[Vintois]

Hello

I have only been playing a week or so but I have notices when I take damage at the stern of my ship it sometimes shows up as damage to the bow of my ship on the armor diagram. Has anyone else seen this issue?

 

Thanks

Once you have lost all armor on one side, the cannon balls go through and hit the opposite side. it doesn't necessarily have to be bow/ stern. just how it is in damage 3.0.

 

don't worry too much - a new model is coming soon.

I appreciate the response I am aware of this and it is not what I am seeing while I am in combat I will get hit in the stern or the bow and occasionally the damage will appear on the opposite side. I.E. I get hit in the bow and the damage shows damage to the stern on the armor schematic.

Thanks

Even in Damage Model 3, it is possible for balls to go all the way through.

 

Damage Model 4 will be added to the Open World, so for now, I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the Sea Trials Damage Model as it is no longer the "current" in production code.
