Captains,
The following changes were deployed today, September 2025, on the Test Server:
Grape damage maximum distance reduced by 100 meters
Grape damage slightly rebalanced: it now takes 5 broadsides to fully decrew an unarmored enemy ship (up from 4 broadsides on the testbed)
Grape ricochet angle adjusted to correspond to ball, approximately 45 degrees
Leak water inflow reduced by 20–25%
Cannon maximum horizontal aiming arc reduced from 40 degrees to 30 degrees (from 20° to each side to 15° to each side) to increase the importance of ship positioning in battles
Ship structure increased to 120% of planking
NPCs will now use battle sails more often
