gah! im stuck here in my thoughts. im not quite shure what to equip my beloved frigate with.
ive come down to two options, 24 pounder culverines and 12 pounders.
lets see the arguments for the two.
12 pounder Culverines:
+ fast reload time, 1 minute 10 seconds
+ is just as effective as any caliber against sails
- lacks considerably in firepower against an enemy hull.
24 pounder culverines:
+ effective against sails as is any caliber.
+ hits hard and while not matching 24 pounder cannons it has range to make up for it.
- reload time is quite extensive, 1 minute and 50 seconds.
just because im bored, 24 pounder cannons:
+ greatest firepower around
- can not outrange the 24 pounder culverine
- lenghtiest reload time, 2 minutes
so as you can see, i do have quite a dilemma, the 12 pounder culverines would allow me to shoot the sails to shreds on most enemy ships, however, it is very weak against hulls and dosent stand much a chance in a outrigh pounding match. the 24 pounder culverines while they take a long time to reload they can outrange enemy ships equipped with cannons.
