Ships of the line armor

[Ink]

We think it is too strong and should be lowered.

best suggestion is to sail frigates until wednesday.

I thought you tested this on your testbed first.

ship armor is fine, the bigger the ship the more armor it should have.

Also i encountered a Bug that its i think graphical and has to do with the game... apparently when you shoot the Bellepoule it either goes through and does Splash or its a clear miss...
Also the new Aiming System is horrible :/

So you're saying it's fine that 5 first rates shooting another first rate with full broadsides and take just a few pixels of armor away?

This isn't sci-fi. Hull strength of a 1st rate was greater than a frigate, but not by that much.

Way too strong - loosing to many cannons aswell in batlle, shots going through the hull, hitting the water. Fleet order takes way too long to finish..Will wait for hotfix, unplayable for me atm. :)

By the way, this completely trivializes PVE because the AI does not wait unitl that perfect 90° angle to fire its broadside.

Good news, SoL versus SoL combat was way too slow.
