Solved Newbie with issues of GOF 1.2 or are they ?

[Beat2Quaters]

I seem to have run into a problem someone else mentioned on the forums about enemy ships being indestructible , i was playing as lucky jack with the HMS Sophie i upgraded to 16lbs cannons from the starting 4lbs and did some questing but every ship i encounter i cant do any damage to it what so ever all health bars stay full no matter what ammunition is used too... the only way i can defeat enemies is by boarding. I know there are much heavier guns in the game but i would think 16lb ers would do some substantial damage to small schooners and gun boats, also after 4 hours of game-play and completed quite a few quests i still have no officers and dont know how to get them ... help would be great on that topic , other than that LOVING the game , was a big POTBS player but this is a game changer top mod guys !

Nevermind i did a reinstall and the problems gone something must have been messed up , damage is working now.

Thanks for the compliments Mate and welcome aboard.​

Usually levelling up and increasing your skills will cause noticeable improvements in damage. Also there are three options for damage in the Mod Options menu: Realistic, Inbetween, and COAS Vanilla. It comes set with Realistic which is actually of benefit to a newb because the enemy also takes a lot longer to damage you. With vanilla you can potentially be sunk with a single broadside by many ships.​

I prefer "in between" starting out and then change it to "realistic" when I get about level 20 or so. MK​
