Patch 22: Grape shot fix, Patrol BR limits and planking tuning.

Captains.

Patch 22 is being deployed today.

• Adjustable BR limits introduced for patrols. You wont be able to join the battle if your entry will exceed the Patrol limit.
  
  
  
  • Patrol limits
    
    
    
    • Hispaniola 8000
      
    • Antilles 5000
      
    • Tumbado 3000
      
    • Nassau 1000
      
    
    
  • Adjustable BR Mechanics (making full 25 1st rates battles still possible)
    
    
    
    • When battle is created - everyone in the pull circle will get in.
      
    • If the BR of one side at the start of the battle is lower than the patrol limit: patrol limit will be used for reinforcements
      
    • If the BR of one side at the start of the battle is higher than the patrol limit: that BR will be used for reinforcements
      
    • Be wary when sailing in the large group exceeding the BR limit. If you are not in the pull circle you wont be pulled into battle and wont be able to reinforce.
      

• Influence of angle for penetration improved.
  
• Importance of angle at direct hits reduced: All guns penetrate First rate armor at 50-100m
  
• Importance of angle at oblique hits increase: 42lb wont penetrate Surprise at 15 degrees with ease.
  

Lets see how it goes and tune more before weekend.


Bug causing grape not penetrating 0 physical planking if the ship had upgrades with planking bonuses in centimeters - fixed.
Windows and ports were not affected by the bug so it was not very noticeable against ships with large windows and a lot of ports

• If nation is shown in green or white - you can enter
  
• If enemy nation is shown in red - you cannot enter
  
• As a result you do not waste time sailing to the wrong circle (as button only appear when you are in a circle).
  

ps. two more patrol areas (with some land within the zone) will come in the next patch.
