WTF are Ramming Ships so OP?

[IlPrincipe]

I just rage-quit from a battle where I was fighting a tiny fleet with three bow ships, an admiral and a ramming ship.

Kill the bow ships and intercept ramming ship with three heavy marauder melee ships from left, right and front. Micro my front ship to escape from getting rammed but it dies anway. Ok. No problem. Left and right ships are about to board. Just as the left ship is about to board it ram ship does a 180 DEGREE TURN from a stationary position and taps the left ship and immediately sinks it and then does 180 DEGREE and TAPS AND SINKS the right ship.

CA physics?!! WTF!

Also: why do artillery ships fire another shot EVERY time after you order them to cease fire. Half the ammo is wasted because the crew insists on shooting at the rubble of towers and hovels...

CA programming logic:

if (target_is_destroyed) {
// FIXME: fix this but only include fix with $5 DLC trololol
keep_wasting_his_ammo_anyway_trolololol();
}

You do realize when a light melee ship and a ramming ship hit each other bow-on, 75% of the time a melee will start, and the ramming ship's crew is outnumbered right? Also melee ships have the distinction of not going down with a single tap, unlike bow ships.

literally just lost my 7 star general because a fleet of ramming ships insta killed all of my elite tier troops

back then ramming ships were essential in maintaining the high seas....

study ancient naval warfare and then try again....

this is a shameful display.
