Re: Unit Balancing!
Since the undocumented patch I've certainly notices Sloops and Brigs doing a very good job of being annoying in large battles.
I just built the Victory, and a Sloop blew up right next to it. It caught fire and routed off the map. Luckily it didn't explode or sink.
This happened because they have have a great habit of getting in close and sitting between the big 3rd rates I have who are in the line astern formation. They use their superior manoeuvrability to stay out the massive broadside cones and snipe away from very close range.
I had the Victory split off the main line and start cleaning up the situation...clearly it was a very large hammer for a very small peanut.
It's very well done.
I really hope Jack reconsiders the Range and Accuracy issues.
