Hello everybody!
This isn't my first time here, even though i've just registered, i've been following this site for quite a while.
I bought the game like many other hopefulls when it first hit the market, but left it on the shelf due to all of its buginess. Yesterday i picked it up again for a little gaming again.
Anyways, to my problem:
I installed the SuperMod (which seems great by the descriptions) and went on to play the game. However, when i left the port i sailed around a bit i got into a fight with some pirates. They had the wind in their favour, so i turned my side to them and waited until they got in the range of my bombs.
When they did, i opened fire. Instead the side firing a volley and starting to reload again, they fired continuesly like machineguns until all the cannons on that side in my ship were destroyed. I have/had the best cannons money could buy, and the gunner's level is 7. I turned my ship, and every side of my ship had the same event happening. The funny thing was that even when my guns were firing and i turned my ship during the fire, the guns would fire at the same spot of sea.
Also, when the enemy sloop fired its bow cannons, the water splashed around me like he had just unleashed a volley of Man-O-War's broadside. I don't think they had that many cannons on the bow... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

In another incedent (had this happen multiple times), my enemys ships are really deadly. I had my Corvette attacking three pirate ships (sloop & two other small ships). Having the wind on my side, I decided to board some of them instead of engaging in some cannonball-exchange.
But they didn't want let me get close, so the second i got in the range of cannonballs, the 1st ship blew 1/3 of my crew, sails (lost the middle mast) and hull with one volley. The second did the same, and so did the third. My ship was sinking so fast i didn't even have time to turn it.
So most of the time i don't even have time to take a shot. I fear that this kind of enemies are going to make me the most cowardly pirate ever seen, since i have no desire to fight enemies i don't even have time to take a shot at.
I've installed the SuperMod and its updates 1,2 and 3. From the official patches i've installed the 1st patch. Any info needed to solve this, just ask and i'll get it if i can.
If i can't solve these, i'm afraid it's going back to the shelves again. I'd REALLY like to at least take a stab at this mod... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
