Has the Boss Battle been dumbed down?

[Dan_OB]

Not too long ago I went on a BB with several members of POF and during the battle one crew member commented " is this in Easy Mode?" I had to laugh because I was having similar thoughts. Since then I've been a a few BBs that seemed too easy. Then the other day I was on one that should never have succeed. it was the Helmsman's first effort and it showed. He made almost every mistake that could be made. Generally he positioned the ship so that it would take maximum fire and all too often so that gunners did not have an angle. In the past we probably would have sunk by the 3rd bridge, must certainly at the 4th.

The crew was large but not especially powerful. A couple of lvl 40s, a couple in the high 30's but also there where those with low cannon skills. Certainly not strong enough to overcome the mistakes the captain made. I should also not that the cap did not have take cover.

Has anyone else noticed this? I surely hope that the BB hasn't been made easier, that would ruin one of my favorite parts of the game.
