Worth mentioning: 1-broadside sinking an AI 1st-rate via leaks is not brand-new in current patch. It has been possible from the game's start...just it has varied over time with how reliably one has been able to succeed with it. Does appear, however, that it's back in "pretty consistent" mode at the moment. Whether that's a 🙂 or a 😞, well that's up to the individual player I guess, lol.
Their is no actual truth that one broadside sinks a ship, we have to remember it’s a computer game. In Reality is these ships were build to take a lot of punishment from gunfire. Plus to even sink a ship of the line would be near impossible by gunfire alone.
Its great when you get them, however the DPS for guns means 4lb mediums are king! :( Also HP and thickness mean its very hard to do 1 vs Many ship battles now. Maybe with a bit of tuning it will improve. But its all over the place right now.
I’ve sank many 1st rates with one broadside over many years. It’s not patch related. A good player using big guns and charge can do it against a ship heeling over at full sail. Look at the wind. Thank you for stating you used the full heavy gun set on your ship. The mass hysteria over (the now much amended patch) goes on.
Hold on ... one broadside, ive never seen a 1st rate go down so quick. i suppose there trying to make engagements shorter for when all the F2P meat heads arrive. ive seen leak sinking before but never like this. at the same time i have a question is this a frequent occurrence now? i wish they would just roll the game back a patch :/ they are slowly dumming it all down.
I wouldn't say its that frequent, I guess it depends how hard you try to setup that upwind pass or side by side fight. You also need to get a bit of luck with the waves. :)
😮❤🎉.
What upgrades and woods was you rocking here?
Also great video :)
If memory serves, I think probably, Elite British Rig, British Gunnery Sargent, Navy Planking and Cartagena Caulking. Woods were AO/AT and thanks. 😊

i dont think the sinking is the problem the problem in my opinion is the fact that it is done with the smallest calibre he can fit on the ship
Actually this was max size calibre, so 42lb, 24lb, 12lb and 68lb carros. :)

Completely agree, while I get the thickness was pretty crazy, it should have never been nerfed this hard to lead to a 1 pass kill.
What guns did you use m8?🤯
Was 68lb carros, 12lb navies, 24lb navies and 42lb navies :)
wow thats insane. think it might be time to come back and try the patch

this video shows everything that is wrong with the update
No argument here. :)

Yep, things are not ideal right now. :(
Do they have this on mobile
You need to share this on Steam! wow what a ruined game! proof that its all hands to pump out the long term player base!
Yeah it was shared in official discord. Hopefully with all the bad reviews and reactions they will fix this soon. :(
