Ok so the other day I was trying to steal an ashen winds, solo vs a galleon full crew, and I was like “how the heck am I gonna do this?”
So I went to a fort , grabbed some explosive kegs, and I was like “If u run over a keg, it explodes. If u shoot it with a cannonball, it explodes... but what if I put them in the hull, and ram a ship?”
So I stack them all in the front of the hull, and ram the galleon.... nothing happened.
Why can’t u ram a ship and have the kegs explode? I really wanna know
A keg must touch the outside of a ship to explode, if you placed them at the tip of your ship instead of inside it... they would have gone boom.
That don’t work either.
A Floating” Keg that comes in contact with a ship will explode.
Lighting the Fuse will make it explode. (Back in my day we didn’t have any stinking fuses!)
Shooting it will make it Explode.
Fire 🔥 will make it explode.
Lightning will make it explode.
Not 100% if Blunder Bomb makes it explode...but I’m guessing it does.
Putting it on the Tip and ramming another ship will not make it explode.
Wish it did but it don’t.
Actually a galleon is tall enough in comparison to a sloop to get the keg to make contact with the outside of the hull and that is the only requirement to make it blow.

I’ve rammed over a 100 ships with Gun Powder on the tip and not once has ever exploded. So your saying (I sail exclusively Galleon) it doesn’t work cause the ship is too tall? So it’s not hitting the Hull Below deck? That’s why it doesn’t work?
Interesting
@tidalfurball290 pile the kegs in front of the sloop, and right before hitting the other ship light one and run like hell. Very dangerous but I think it's the only way to make it work.
