Anyone sunk a boat?

[Zoring]

This may seem an odd thing to ask, but has anyone actually sunk an enemy boat? They have caught fire, been shot to pieces, but I have never seen one actually sink on the battle map, even with 8 Nanban trade ships battering away at one.

Stupid question to start a whole thread with

Maybe once you get cannon you start sinking some ships?

[Shiloh]

I had cannon but wasn't able to sink one.

[Chlodwig I.]

I have seen one sinking after i had set it on fire....does that count?

[Dileos]

I've seen a bow ship take 5+ hits from a European ship and stay afloat, albeit on fire. As well as seeing a medium bune hit a mine and sink, I think its totally random.

[Vasa]

I sunk a cannon bune once. Or rather, it said the ship was sinking, but I won the battle before it could submerge (if they even do that in this game).

[Zoring]

Well they are certainly more robust than in the old games, I have a fleet with the black ship and 6 Trade ships all flinging cannon balls at Bune's and trade ships and they just surrender.

[Abriael]

You sure won't sink a ship with arrows Fire arrows will set em ablaze, and if the fire sticks they may sink, but otherwise only cannons will sink them.

i have sunk about 30 ships with my Black Ship.

[Shiloh]

By the look of some of those ships you would think they would go down rather easily.

If you get a sea battle on rough water sometimes it looks like the bune's are about to capsize themselves, whilst Nanban ships do fine.

Apparently Japan never mastered the concept of a "high center of gravity".

Only ship I've seen sunk was my own. A Bow ship that I let take a full broadside from the Black Ship just to see how it looked!

[Mr Frost]

As to the O.P. , no . I doub't Americas' national debt could sink one of those ships .

[Dodge]

and here you are posting in it for the 1,865th time .

I think that says more about you than me.

[Hilarion]

Yeah. Fire arrows will sink 'em.

[Shiloh]

I played 5 vs 7 battle seen here and no boats were sunk although I certainly pelted the enemy with enough rounds to sink one I thought.
