Test Server Update – September 15: Raking Fire and Leaks Change

[h3]Raking Fire Improvements[/h3]

[p]Greatly increased grape and splinter damage from cannons.[/p]
[p]Greatly increased the number of cannons destroyed during raking fire.[/p]
[p]Grape shot damage is now effective up to 500 meters.[/p]
[p]Increased bow hitpoints to allow closing distance with more safety [/p]

[p]Previously, raking fire was not a particularly effective tactic. We want to make it viable again. We look forward to your feedback.[/p][p][/p][h3]Other Changes[/h3]

[p]Slightly increased the impact of angling — previously cannons could penetrate armor up to 45 degrees, now they can do so at roughly 40–43 degrees.[/p]
[p]Successfully inflicted leaks from a single broadside can sink a ship if the captain does not react in time and shift the entire crew to Survival Focus.[/p]
[p]Slightly reduced the hitpoints of mast sections.[/p]
