PotBS PvP - Smoke 'n Oakum - 3/3

Indeed, that guy was stupid. Such a poor privateer, he could-ve won it easily.

It was clear at one point that the two NOs were wide and apart each other while following. I-d ve used rear chasers with entangled shot on the first strals, turn 90 to port to close reach, broadside of anti sail. That would be enough to leave the first stralsund well impaired. I-d have moved on close haul then using tack upwind, closed on the second stralsund.

seeing how the pursuers were using sail shot, with sail defence on and sail repair skill ready, the priv could have blazed past the first stralsund without fear, closed in for the second, use break formation to keep it steady and win a clear rear position.
Once there; All or nothing shot. turn around for another stern shot, helped by unpred:maneouverability if needed. Crushing broadside on stern.

Those two good spikes there and that strals would-ve been done...
and the first stralsund would-ve standed no chance in the ensuing 1 on 1 (lvl50 vs lvl 35...).

In short: really poor show of driving from that guy.

that guy is stupid as hell. he just wasted mast repairs, and you time hunting him down.
