@themaneman22 The problem is spawn rates. Putting holes in a ship and having them repaired is one thing, but putting a ton of holes in a ship, boarding that ship, killing the whole crew 2 to 3 times, finally dying, and STILL not sinking the ship is the real problem. IMO the death times should be doubled or tripped if a player dies to another player. That way it will still be ok spawn times for people dying to aimbot skeletons, but crews can't just continuously cycle through death timers to the point that the first person you kill is already alive by the time you kill the 3rd one.
Sinking seems... well, near impossible.
@themaneman22 I've not encountered an unsinkable ship, where are they in the game? i only know of sloops and galleons, both of which sink... the more players you have patching and bailing can make all the difference...
2 Important thing to consider especially when attacking a galleon:
-
The Galleon has two floors below deck, one needs to fill up before the second one starts filling. A lot of peopple keep hitting our top decks and we hit everything below the waterline guess who sinks?
-
Some people just park next to us and start hitting the same part of our hull the whole time. That's easy to repair/ bail from because it's just one hole. The game doesnt care how many times you shoot the same part of the hull. there's only going to be one hole. And since when you shoot the same place over and over I'm not going to keep repairing. I'm just going to bail.
So Spread out your shots and hit both above and below, I've often done the slow circle of death on a anchored galleon, just have one sail down and slowly move around a galleon while your mates keep shooting the hull, this way there are too many holes to repair from and they will sink.

As far as pvp goes, cannons are a great distraction. Nothing more really. Sinking comes from boarding and preventing repair.. to cannon the same place twice is meaningless boats are invulnerable to layered impacts and completely immune in locations that are unreachable for repair. If you mince a boat with cannonballs it should in turn become mince.
On paper yes in reality know.
Cause to do anything on a Galleon require 4 people having a Mic and none of them being r******d...
And well you’ve played the game so you get were I’m going.
For example it takes 2 people on repairs even against a sloop...so that leaves one driving and only one in cannons.
So the 4 cannons usually turn into one.
Don’t get me wrong, a well co-ordinated crew rolling in at about 12 knots on a pre determined target with all four cannons ready and being fired is devistating...
But that is really rare...
