| SAILING Sailing These parameters determine how your ship sails. Max Speed: Maximum Speed SHIPHow fast your ship can move in battles. Improving battle speed does not improve Open Sea speed. Acceleration: Acceleration Determines how fast the ship gains speed. Deceleration: Deceleration Determines how fast the ship loses speed. Lower values are better if you want to maintain speed, higher values are better if you want to stop quickly. Turning (Fast): Fast Turn Rate The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at maximum speed. Turning (Slow): Slow Turn Rate The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at a speed of at least 4 knots. Turning Accel: Max Turning Acceleration This shows how fast a ship accelerates into a turn. The higher the value, the faster the ship reaches its maximum turn rate. Turning Decel: Min Turning Deceleration Ships gradually suffer less deceleration as they turn. This shows a minimum amount of deceleration a ship has when turning. Lower numbers (relative to other acceleration stats) are better. Best Point: Best Point The wind angle at which the ship can attain its maximum speed. The wind comes from angle 0o, and angle 180o is running with the wind at your back. Capacity: Capacity How many units of cargo the ship can hold. O.S. Visibility: Open Sea Visibility How far away other ships will spot you on the open sea. O.S. Spotting: Open Sea Spotting Increases your spotting range, allowing you to detect ships beyond their O.S. Visibility. Crew: Crew The maximum number of crew on your ship. Shows the fighting strength of your crew. Target Tracking: Target Tracking Reduces the accuracy penalties you suffer due to your movement and your target's movement. Improves your chance to hit fast moving ships. |

A 36-gun frigate designed to run down enemy ships.
Strategy and Use
This ship is the intermediate ship between the 'Stralsund' Frigate
and its bigger brother the 'Stralsund' Mastercraft Frigate but with your smaller guns, your DPS is less. You make up for it in speed. Your role in a PvP squadron is definitely to chase down your opponent to keep him engaged and slowed enough for the rest of your fleet to catch up.
In 1v1 engagements, stay behind your opponent and present your full broadside if you see that your enemy is about to fire. If he turn towards you, stop. He will be coming upwind and will be slow, giving you plenty of time to chew up his bow. If he is behind you downwind, you have 2 options, run for it because chances are he won't be able to catch you, or turn to broadside and hopes he over shoots. Avoid turning into the wind (tacking), always turn away from the wind (wearing ship).
Tactics
This is definitely a tackling ship. Its massive base max speed means you can just about chase down any ship you are after so long as you have the wind any where behind you (abaft the beam). If speed modifications are added you can easily hit 19-20. The bow chaser keeps your target engaged. The down side is that if you are caught against the wind, you will slow to a crawl extremely fast. This ship cannot turn into the wind without speed. Armament is decent, and so is armor. Good ship for PvE and PvP.
