Before the patch, I saw at least some small fleets of 2nd rates roaming around. Nowadays I hardly see a ship of the line at all. In my GB campaign, its 1799 and I think the whole time I fought 2 third rates (separately) and 3 fourth rates (also separately). I'm playing on hard difficulty, does the AI spawn more ships on VH? At any rate, I hope they change some build priorities around or something for the next patch, I'm tired of seeing trash fleets.
