A short guide to Final Exam. Add your walkthrough.

1 cerberus with medium cannons VS 2 cerberuses.

[-] For a wrong tactic
[+] For a best possible solution
[~] Luck or Duck solution

[-]Separating them wont work(60% sails first cerberus 99% second and they still sail together 50 m distance)
The 99% sails cerberus just slow down to be in short line with 60% sails cerberus.

[-]Boarding wont work(They have marines and you dont, sad, could be legit) "Attack" puts you always at disadvantage.
Even if you win boarding with 20 crew left - (Deck cannons+defence+brace) 20 crew wont do any good fighting second cerberus. Surgeon will not save more than 20 crewmen.

[-]Side-to-side wont work (your structure dies 2 times faster than theirs)
No explanations needed. You simply lose your hull faster. As they fire together. 1 from behind, 1 from a starboard of your ship.

[-]Turning to avoid 90 degrees hit wont work as they will start spinning in 1 place. Try to spin with them - you will stuck between with 0 hull left. [Spinning]
Seems legit but - trust me it is a suicide. You simply cant survive the dogfight. Not a 2 v 1 dogfight.

[-]Stern camp wont work(Medium cannons dont have accuracy and penetration for this approach)
Yes, stern camp is safe and easy. But you do 0 damage even with perfect round hits.

[!] My advice is to regroup, retreat and face them 1 by 1. But It wont work as after leaving the battle you leave the tutorial. Facepalm.

[~]Ramming looks nice at some point but they insta board you so it will not work in general.

Note: Both ships dont give a duck about leaks or fire. Mast destruction is not worth a time as they will always sail together. Repairs are too slow.


Result: no approach found. Try ramming until you will be lucky enough. Sounds crazy? Well it works.
