I'm trying to play naval battles, and everything seems strange. Is raking modeled in the game? Raking meaning greatly increased damage from a shot from directly from the bow or stern. Second, for some reason my third rates with extreme experience don't seem to cause any damage to the ships I'm firing at. Two third rates, fire at will NOT selected, point blank range at 90 degrees to their bow, click fire at will, and only 2 guns dismounted.
SERIOUSLY? All the fire my highly experienced ships put downrange seemed to simply accomplish nothing much at all, only a few guns dismounted, while my ships were getting guns dismounted left and right.
Is this some sort of bug?
