Community call to arms: Naval guide

I intercepted two ships (2 only) carrying a stack of troops toward my shore. I engaged them and sank them both. I remembered distinctly because they both sank like a submarine doing a crash dive. Upon returning to the strategy map one ship sailed away!

It was one of the two I had sunk, badly damaged but still transporting its dangerous cargo. Fortunately I had enough movement left to follow it and this time, blow it up.

This will need to be patched.

I've always found it funny how a single ship, no matter the size can carry a full stack army ^^

I think that is relic from earlier titles. In STW and MTW, you made a kind of ship chain where it was assumed that these ships guarded your ship lane.

Sunken ships somehow surviving the battle has been there ever since Empire, I believe. I'm absolutely sure it happens a lot in vanilla Shogun and ROTS.

I find that its rare for corvette size ships to sink. It always seems to end in an explosion.
