I simply love what they have done with sailing, it is excellent now! I have never played a game with
such realistic water-boat-wind effects (not many games have it, but still)! Great job Disney!
I wonder where all this ship enhancement is leading, more things to do at sea..? Hmm?

As for the walking through people... I don't mind, it is fine with me, at least i won't be lagging so much
on Ideal Oceans!

If I recall correctly, the game environment hardly affects the sailing at all. There is no current, no wind, etc. For comparison purposes, the ships drive like cars for the most part. The most I can think of at the moment that affects the sailing is the build up/slow down in speed when starting/stopping and how turning decreases your speed. There is still a lot of extra things they could do to make it better, though making it too realistic would be a drawback in some respects.

If i recall correctly, i have seen alot changing in sailing within the past few Updates. The ships rock
more, because of the increased amount of waves, which makes it harder for the broadsides to hit the
enemy ship. Your hull has become stronger, and the enemy ships' aim is much better. Just like in reality
i'd think. With the wind i meant the wind that your sails take, and the increased speeds your ship is
gaining lately. Excellent.

When you turn your ship, it lists more than it used to, which i find very nice.

I don't recall ever stating it was perfect. Of course there can be more done, but i am not in need of change.
I like it the way it is, and if something is changed, i am glad about it!

And i don't play car games, so i wouldn't know

I was just expressing my own personal opinion about the matter
