Well, it does seem unfair at first, but as you progress, you want those challenges to face.
A high level pirate/sailor with a War Galleon, can waltz through those other ships, and sink them with 1 or 2 broadsides filling my ship in a few minutes. It would be neat to fire those high end cannon types, but I can see the reason for the seemingly unfair combination.
As far as the fire on flag ships, this makes sense to me actually. Firebrand BURNS the ship, it just doesnt hit the ship, and stop doing damage like all the other cannon ammo types. You firebrand a ship until its disabled, and the fire onboard does MORE damage immediately causing it to sink.. its burning! Firemen dont go into burning buildings unless its to save lives... in this case thier enemies, you wouldnt necessarily want to board a burning ship.
