Sailing and gunning skill requirement?

I said privateering. Plundering is easy any day. Unless you get unlucky and get two Behemoths angry at you, your fine. Cannon Defense and Treasure Fleets are very difficult, but if you do them enough, they get predictable, and you know what comes next, which makes it so they aren't too hard. But with privateering, you are facing other players, and that always is different. The fact that you can never predict what your opponent will do in privateering is what makes it the hardest, and requires the most skill.

Sinking the ship of the line is still plundering basically but just a little harder and i've sunk all the ships in one war frigate svs crew.

Down to SvS and Cannon defense. Cannon Defense requires a lot of PATIENCE but i see that dog made it to 102 and i have svs friends who made it above 100 many times. If you are good at SvS you are good at cannon defense because all it requires is time an some type of ammo usage strategy and good aim.
The reason Privateering and not Cannon defense is because:
-SvS requires a good crew meaning not just fury crew but skillful crew
-Its against other players instead of computer
-If you want to show your good you are going to be in SvS for more than 3 hours without knowing it
-You need a good strategy of attack and teamwork
-It Involves sailing plus gunning
-Aiming is harder in SvS as you have to shoot from close range to very long range where both ships are on movement.(cannon defense you shoot form same place)
-and every svser i know is good at cannon defense but not every cannon defense player i know is good at SvS

lol,. i good at cd but bad at svs
