Re: Naval Tips
Two points guy's:
Leave your ships on Fire at Will. They will be far more accurate and quicker than you could ever hope of being.
Second: Pretend your ships are simply mobile firing platforms, which is what they are so it's not pretending at all
Your job is to position or sail them as best as possible to bring the maximum number of guns to bare on the enemy. If you do that, you have the best chance of winning.
Anything more than 4 ships in one group, starts to get a little tricky to control, so create 2 or 3 groups of 4 ships if you have that many.
If the AI has smaller ships it will sometimes deliberately try and close the distance and block you, which can also lead to massive boradsides which are great, until that AI ship (brig or sloop) detonates right next to you brand new 74 gun 3rd rater...at that point kiss your 3rd raters butt cheeks goodbye.
Keep your distance if you have more guns...let them do the work and sail in nice straight lines.
