What are we going to 'sea' in this new naval battle feature?

My bets are on a polished version of the Imperial Glory navy battles.
I hope to god they at least include better controls, and the ability to form a basic line of battle.
Probably not though. Like I said, a shiny version of IG's navy battles, only WITH OMG REALISTIC DAMAGE AND D00DZ ON DECK 2 KIL AN STUF LOLOL!

I hope that maybe enemys can fall off the ship and maybe,maybe,just a little,that sea animals might make some apperance,like seeing wales jump in the background,and walking the plank after the battle

The new pc gamer says it will be pretty complex....you'll be able to target certain parts of ships, including men, with different kinds of ammunition, you'll have the option of boarding, and the damage system is realistic.

It didn't mention much about a realistic sailing system, but I'm assuming something akin to pirates, where wind is important, but you simply use buttons/mouse to steer the ship around. Maybe a full sail, reefed sail feature, but it doesn't say one way or the other.

They said Bioshock was gonna have all kinds of stuff too...look how that turned out.
'Targetting specific parts of ships' most likely means the standard 'Chain shot, round shot or grapeshot' options that have been around since Sea Dogs, maybe even before. Nothing new. Was in Imperial Glory.

Indeed- in fact Im going to predict that it will be very similar to Imperial Glory. Perhaps the differences will be cosmetic like a few men running around on decks. I cant really think of much else they can do...

Or perhaps other minor things like Character traits for the admirals etc etc

i think bugjuice will be in the game,when the cannon fires more than one shots,and sword combat will be more usefule for up close encounters
