Also if you have a round shot cannon ram that has critical, Use it I'm using a common one and I sink a War Frigate in 4-2 broadsides with War Frigate.
It doesn't matter if u have 200-400 hit points. I got 525-900. With critcal, 1200-2100.
A broadside like that should sink a Fury Light Sloop in 4-25 seconds.
Well I haven't read anything yet. But I guess I'm done here.
