Always make sure you sail with the wind in your back when you attack. |
This obviously depends upon your shoice of flagship.
Pinnace class ships sail better across the wind than they do with the wind at their backs. |
hmm, did not know that, since I usually sail a Frigate.
Thanx for the tip there Rupert!
Does this also count for the Sloop of War?
I intend to use this type of ship the next game I start. |
Just check the ship's sailing attributes in the pirate-o-pedia. I think so though, but I don't really remember. As a general rule, square-sailed ships travel faster with the wind in their back (running with the wind), ships with triangular sails travel faster across the wind.
