Captains
Penetrated holes leakage (water) was causing going down under (water) too fast.
Example: https://streamable.com/tehpq8
Technical update will be installed on the servers, reducing leakage from structural leaks
Leakage reduced by 50%.
As this relates to server based logic servers wont be stopped. Some instances might be unavailable for 1-2 hours.
ps.
To save your ship
If you are sailing fast (above 50% speed) and see red leaks or if you are a low structure follow the following procedure.
- Depower staysails - press T
- Switch off boarding and gunnery crew focus
- Turn yards to create negative wind power to stop faster (you take less water at zero speed).
- If you cant get negative wind set them to neutral (parallel to wind) this will remove heel as well.
- Only after that switch off the Sailing crew focus.
To sink enemies fast
- Use large calibers - aim below waterline if enemy is heeling.
