Surely I can't be the only one who thinks naval battles on ETW are atrocious, can I?
When my 5th and 6th rates are being beaten by indiamen and fluyts, there must be something wrong.....
Maybe it's the fact that virtually every shot i take seems to go straight over the enemy ship, rather than into it. How am I supposed to do any damage with that happening?
Of course, that still doesn't explain my boarding parties nearly always losing. In one recent battle, 120 men from my 5th rate were beaten by 67 from the enemy's battered sloop. I not only had the advantage of numbers, but also morale as I'd just killed their admiral.
Someone tell me how that adds up.
Well, it obviously doesn't. Which is rather a shame as I was really looking forward to naval battles but, TBH, those on Sid Meier's Pirates are infinitely better, if only because it's actually possible to win them.....
Thoughts?
