Thanks for your kind reply! I can't wait to see two enemy line formations shoot each other :P

Hello ChezJfrey!

Sorry for Google translate:

I use the "defend" command to be followed by the squadron ships. In the original game, if I turned right or left, the ships followed me correctly. In the ERAS mod the squadron ships cannot align with my ship. When I make a turn, the allied ships can't follow me, they turn a little at first but then they can't form the line. In the original game (AOP2 COAS) it worked well.

I experimented using the same ships with 100 navigation level captains and crew with full skill. I noticed that all the ships in the game are affected by this problem. Once an enemy ship followed me because it wanted to board, it was even faster than me. I sailed towards a cliff and when the enemy ship was behind me I turned left and it went crashing. The cliff was about half a mile ahead of me, but the enemy ship turned so slowly that it failed to avoid it.
Yet the ships in the game turn well, in combat the AI makes tight turns and quick changes of direction.
So I don't think the problem is the turn rate of the ships which is correct, but as the AI follows a target (maybe).


COAS original (all ships follow the trail)

ERAS (the ships make a very wide turn)

Thanks it's work fine!

PS:  can you post a patch o fix for update instead the 11gb file?

PS 2:  

I have successfully managed to create a realistic sail profiling for ships, now a square rigged ship goes faster when it goes to 145-135 degrees (180 is when the wind is directly behind the ship) as in reality. This option can be changed ship by ship, I was inspired by new horizon mod.

I also made significant changes to ballistics by doing numerous studies (https://www.arc.id.au/CannonBallistics.html), and making the damage decreasing with increasing distance (i found a penetration table of cannon to oak in a early 1800s book) ljlk2s7.jpg

if you  want i can post all my modification. Now I am in the testing phase :P , but i can post later the complete ship and cannon init.

Hello ChezJfrey!

I bought the game yesterday and installed it successfully. I enabled the direct sail option and sailed for days without seeing any ship. Then I opened the word map and there were a lot of ships around me but when I went to direct sail I didn't see anything. What went wrong?

(i use google translate sorry!)
