It seems to me that cannon damage has been SERIOUSLY reduced. I think I could do more damage with my pistol...
No trouble sailing. The war frigate has a fresh coat of paint on it. No more "stunned" ship nonsense either. Also Full Sail adds 5 knots instead of two and Ramming Speed took my War Frigate up to 19 knots from 10. Loading screens take FOREVER and cannon damage has been SERIOUSLY reduced.
And then I got booted, failed to load, locked screen and forced to restart the computer. Yippee!
But I did get to play around at the Tortuga Invasion. The LAG potential there is unlimited!
