Again, the method to sail inside, typically takes much longer than sailing around the island (and only that fast, with a pathetic amount of practice at it.) At about 45 seconds per attempt, 3 attempts on average, it is twice as slow as sailing around, yet completely vulnerable the entire time (ship maneuvers also prevent gunners from putting up any defense, during those attempts.)
Again, it has completely fallen out of use, because it does not achieve any benefit.

Are you talking about broadside ship cannons or gunner cannons? As I sail solo without crew my broadsides do not penetrate islands they bounce off so when a ship enters an island and honest players like me who do not glitch and cannot follow they are effectively not able to be sunk as my broadsides do not fire through islands nor do they target ships inside the islands.
