Galleon and Brigatine for combat, Sails combination

[Playdachi]

Do i go with full handling sail or full speed sail on both Galleon and brigatine? which combination is better for combat?

Brig: 2 x large speed + 1 large handling.
Alternative brig: 3 x medium speed + 1 medium weight + 1 medium handling.

Depends on your fighting style. If u kite sotds with rear cannons 2 large speed and 1 large handling is great.

If u broadside with large cannons from gunports u should use 2 large handling and 1 speed or even 3 large handling sails. It´s a bit tricky and u need decent wind but it´s more of a challenge and if u master it u can take out squads without a scratch.

Every player has his own unique play style. So indeed, as MesCaLiN said before, it all depends on how you fight.

Before I started building a blueprint ship, I fiddled around with vanilla sails, cannons, balistas etc. Once you you know what set up you prefer, only then start building your blueprint ship.

Also, as you know this game is still in development. And they still might buff or nerv certain items. Be sure not to throw blueprints away yet (i.e. weight sails). After each patch with a buff or a nerv on items I go vanilla again, to feel what's best now.
