war sloop or war galleon?

K so its been kind of hard for me to get money lately and i have 14k I have 15 sailing but should i just buy a WS when i have the chance or save up for a WG? I find it much easier to sink ships with a sloop since it goes much faster and more manuvarable yet ive been using my reg galleon for about 2 weeks now. Its would also take almost double the time for me to get the money for a WG because of the price. Imputs anyone?

PS. Im not getting a war frigate just yet

Well, I've always gotten the War Sloops first...because I have this thing about doing stuff in the "proper" order.


Anyway, if you're not a spaz like me, save for the War Galleon - the War Sloop's not a huge improvement, and it carries less cargo than your galleon. Once you're rich (which will happen if you play long enough, LoL), buy 'em all.

Shipburn the sloop is much faster and turns well, I have one, but never got enough cash up for the Galleon.

I have used the sloop quite a bit to run down other bigger ships if you spin around them and keep firing (if you are sailing alone) you can make short order of the bigger ships. Hope this helps a little at least.

Save for a galleon, the sloop is basically just an expensive frigate :P

I bought the War Sloop first, it does actually work better for me to battle enemies.
It may be expensive, but it basically lives up to a frigate, and is alot faster.

If you need speed just buy a 1000g sloop, then when you have tons of gold use it twords a war sloop.

The WS is low to the water and you can duck some shots. I use it when I don't have a crew. I use my frigate when I get crew.

There are things I hear, a dark force a'hunting. Seems that the less cargo you can hold, the higher the quality of said cargo. Regardless, ships are the main items of the game to buy aside from pistols of course (what else improves so drastically?). If you like the sloop, get it. I drove my friend's War Galleon and changed my ambitions a little: it's tall and slow. Seems like it will turn over when turning. It also doesn't allow for much of a front view...

War Galleons handle like pigs in mud. But I love them. Lots of cargo and the most broadsides of any ship.

War Sloops are just plain fun to drive. Zippy and maneuverable, what's not to like?

I love my galleon. And when I do cannons on it I use the two back ones. They point forward.

I got a war sloop maybe... 4 days ago(?) and I'm already back up to 35k gold, so I'd suggest the WS then galleon. But then, it's all a matter of speed v. cargo/boom.
