The State of Naval Combat in 1.5

[A1_Unit]

Every time I board a ship in 1.5 it catches on fire! You know what happens next.

hmm. never happens to me. then again, i rarely board unless i've destroyed most of the enemy ship's guns.

I have noticed a lot more fires in 1.5.

They are not readily being put out either. It is taking time to get it under control and it looks like you may need to come up into the wind. As long as I was moving, even with the fire at will turned off, it kept burning. It didn’t stop until I turned into the wind and anchored.

I had a fight with the Pirates and both my ships were on fire at the same time. It got pretty hairy for a while. The battle even went over the time limit! But I was in a little better shape by then.
