In the other case, you can stay on the edge of your range with light ships and never allow heavy ships in range to where they can shoot back. lighter ships, such as your battle, if you get in close, you can pound the small enemy ships and their guns don't do a lot of damage to your heavy ships. Since the patch, the small ships (brigs, sloops, 6th rates and 5th rates) have a range rating of 500, while all other ships have range ratings of 400 for their guns. It's also possible to win (with much greater difficulty, at least for me, but I don't consider myself a very effective admiral) with several smaller ships against 4th rates or better.

Against the AI, it's possible to win with a few heavy ships against full stacks of brigs/sloops. I don't consider these types of battles to be too unusual. I had to edit the interface out and retouch the sky, and then decided to do a little crosshatching HMS Archer and HMS Rose turning to grapple with the enemy again.ДЄ Marine aboard a sixth rate watches the enemy flounder as the British tear into them again. It's all too much for some as this ship sinks. HMS Rose, the fourth rate, gets nice and close with a sloop. There are some very close shots in this battle. Took me a good hour to do, as I had to pause and runaway to do things a lot, but as a not very experienced naval commander, I found it epic I've uploaded a replay onto the downloads section so you can judge for yourself, but it had quite a lot going for it- outnumbered, close-range broadsides, raking, ramming, sinking and yes, an exploding ship which took me by surprise.ДЄ look at HMS Archer, the flagship of the fleetДЄ marine watches the fleet sail into action Even if you have a fleet of frigates (about three sixth rates, three fifth rates including a flagship, two brigs/sloops and a fourth rate) and the enemy is entirely brigs and sloops. I'm just wondering if it's usual to be outnumbered by about 3:1 and come out on top.
