I am sorry for not responding my drinking problems hit again
also leading attack on hungary
So how to prepare for a trip.
First of all you should get ship, then enought crew for effective trip enought food for that crew to stay alive much longer then planed because trips usualy go like that. Also dont forget to check if your ships on full HP.
All of that depends on the situation like most of things in navy, if its big fight you fight till then end and if you are arive and no more danger you can fish the wreck but,
if you are in dangerous water and need to get out you dont fish you just run where you need to be.
Usualy firing is ordered by fleet commader and they target usualy ships of importance for example if there is genovese barge bc and mc you will most prob always shoot bc because rest dont to much damage or no damage at all.
BC have 17 cannons and each have 66% chance to hit, but usualy one BC do from 11-14 damage per shot. so you need 4 BC to sink one BC in one turn it can be done with 3 but you need a bit of luck.
I think i should go over basic chain of command (one we use)
on bottom you have crew member they server as crew get part of loot and dont have much saying in actions. then you have crew chief who should take care of crew and make sure they are all alive and have food and rest of stuff they may need.
then co captain he help captain move moves main captain can not do and he is usualy less skilled one.
And captain who is the boss on that ship and he should have all skills n8
Above that is fleet commander he command over max 6 captains (6 is max ships in one fleet) if there is no more ships he is the boss and his word is final.
if there is more then one fleet 6+ ships then there are few fleet commanders and above them is Admiral who decides and give orders down the chain. captains and fleet commanders all have chance to give their personal opinion on actions and help in making decisions. But fleet commander or admiral who is chosen for action have full authority. In case you dont agree with him you should not refuse to follow his orders. You should do as said (but tell your opinion because maybe he is wrong or did not see something you maybe did) even if that means you will lose ship (sometimes is must) but by doing that all the blame is on him so even if you lose you can blame him
but if you fuck up and dont move ship when said that is your fault and shouldnt happen.
