The rigging of a ship is the most important, yet most complex part. I personally do not know a game, which features it correctly. Even the new mount and blade lacks a proper rigging depiction. But I don't know, there are plenty of good model ships and museums out there not to mention whole books dedicated to the rigging.
Nevertheless, the game doesn't want to be accurate, yet the developers boldy tell so "our game is historical accurate" why because they feature historical persons and locations? OK, then every fantasy or science fiction movie/game is also historical accurate because they often feature historical persons and locations.
The sheer fact that clothes, locations and persons lead the developers to use such bold words is a further proof of the superficiality of games. Yes this games looks good and yes it will sure be fun. But if anybody take a closer look at this game, then its flaws can be clearly see.
2:36 is a good example. It shows an officer without a scabbard. Missing of scabbards is always the first sign, that developers do not care about details and accuracy.
Also the sheer fact that every troop with a musket has a socket bayonet already attached to the musket. A clearly sign, that the developers were too lazy and do not give anything about accuracy. Bayonets had sheaths for them. Good books about armament and uniforms proofs that.
Shoulder straps for rifles is also a topic. Yes early matchlocks did not had shoulder straps but why? Because they were used as a pike in conjunction with a bayonet. Nevertheless personal use flintlocks had shoulder straps. Contemporary engravings proof that. However I have not found a proof that later matchlocks had shoulder straps, common sense it should be so... however I will not stand for it without contemporary proof.
Oh and reloading of firearms is also a nice point. Albeit essential for every firearm non-existent in this game.
However, I praise them at least for depicting holsters and quivers.
I will not talk about the naval mistakes...
In my humble opinion, standing behind the statement "this game is historical accurate" after delivering such flaws, shows the true character of the publishers/developers of being just money hungry, superficial vermin.
The first part had its flaws but at least they tried to show somehow accuracy. Yes I will buy this game nevertheless but for 10-20$ and no more and not immediately after release but one year after that.
Sorry this had to be said.
